Brian Carbury (Kiwi ace of BoB)

What happened to him?
All I have been able to find is two lines in "Aces High" by Chris Shores : Details are unavailable, but it appears that he was required to resign his commission under a cloud during 1944.
Thanks in advance.

Chris

Hi Chris,

'Carbury remained an instructor until dismissed from the service in 1944 following a court martial for bouncing cheques that had been written to cover his wife's opulent lifestyle.'

He obviously chose the wrong 'No2'!

See 'Spitfire Vs Bf 109: Battle of Britain' by Tony Holmes (preview at Books Google)

Cheers,

Hi Chris

Post war he was involved in ferrying aircraft in 1948 to Palestine for the Jews in their struggle.
