West Indian aircrew WWII

Hi guys

I am compiling details regarding black West Indian aircrew and wonder if anyone can add to these basics?

Sqn Ldr Ulric Cross DSO DFC+ (Bomber Command navigator)
Owen Sylvester DFM (Bomber Command)
L.O. Lynch (Air Gunner BC)
Billy Strachan (BC pilot)
Ivor De Souza (served with RAAF squadron)
Vincent Bunting (fighter pilot)
Julian Marryshow (193 Squadron Typhoons)
A.O. Weekes (fighter pilor?)
E.A. Joseph (fighter pilot?)

There were probably others, as well as black Africans who flew with the RAF/Commonwealth.

Looking forward to a flood of information!!

Cheers
Brian
