Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum - Thomas "Pat" Pattle documentary

I am busy working on a short documentary movie on the life of the top ww2 Western Allies fighter pilot ace Pat Pattle, intended for TV broadcast in SA.

This weekend I visited the closest remaining family of Pat in Johannesburg, South Africa. They were so kind to give me access and permission regarding documentation related to Pat.

These include three files with letters, photographs, paper cuttings and all kinds of documentation.

I was moved in having personal letters written by Pat to his mom and the death notifications from the Air Ministry in my hands.

I decided to share some of these documents on this forum:

· Pat's medal set at the Jhb war museum.
· Missing notification 1941
· Death notification 1941
