F/Sgt Gordon "Wille" Williams of 67 squadron RAF
I'm looking for any information on F/Sgt Gordon "Wille" Williams of the 67 squadron RAF in the Burma/India campain. Have both Bloody Shambles.
I'm reading "ketchil" book on Charles Bargh and he talks about this pilot often. The book has a photo of Gordon in a Hurricane and looking for more information on this or anything else about this Squadron. Thanks |

Hi.
You can find some information about Williams on the site New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum http://www.nzfpm.co.nz/article.asp?id=williams_ga He is also included in the books Aces High by Christopher Shores and By Such Deeds by C.M. Hanson. 67 Squadron is mentioned in the official history: New Zealanders in the RAF Vol 3: http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-3RAF.html and the book Air War for Burma by Christopher Shores (this book covers the period from June 1942 to the end of the war). It´s very difficult to find any information about this unit and you already have the best books I have found sofar (Bargh´s book and Bloody Shambles Vol 1 & 2). If you wants to have more information about the daily operations I think you need to get a copy of the Operational Record Book even though it will probably not be complete. If I rembember it correct the original was lost during the retreat in Burma. Cheers Peter |
