Re: Plt Off S M Glasgow 76 Sqn

Hello,

Help, or hindrance?

A grab from Paul Tweddle's, Into The Night Sky: RAF Middleton St George: A Bomber Airfield at War (2007), concerning the op to Dusseldorf on 31 July/1 Aug 1942 (BCL3/171).

Quote:

"The late take-off was fortunately smooth and professional and after an hour or so of steady flying Waite had settled down nicely and was concentrating on the job in hand. The American drawl of his rear gunner, Plt Off Sam Glasgow, then broke into his ears informing him of the presence of an unidentified aircraft 1,000 yards astern."

Col.
