Re: Catalina - W8418 - lost 23 Dec 1941 - crew

Don't know if it is the same airman but there was a W/O. William Henry WESTBY - 524787 - DFM commemorated on the Singapore Memorial, date of death given as 1st February, 1944. He was with 205 Sqdn at date of death. .

I could not find MISSETT or K, B, MURPHY or PATTERSON in the CWGC.

National Archives AIR81 Description Search
