Re: P-47D in the 258 Squadron RAF questions.

Hello Frank,

The No.99 Sqn gunner, W/O J McCredie you mention, was in fact; AUS418236 W/O (Pilot) John Daniel McCREDIE (later DFC) RAAF, the pilot of Liberator VI "K", on 11-2-1945.

The gunners' involved are identified by McCredie in his autobiograhy*, as: Bill Bowler, and an airman (Gunner), named "Bass" Bassett. l don't have access to the No.99 Sqn ORB, so can't help further there.
