Re: HALPRO loos on 29-30 June 1942

The book "Liberandos: A WWII History of the 376th BG" by James Walker has the following:

"Capt. Francis Nestor and his crew failed to return. The seven men,only just arrived after a 17 day delay in Natal, became the first HALPRO crew lost in combat. It was never determined whether they were lost to enemy action or the misfortune of not being able to being able to adequately identify themselves to British Beauforts[!]"
