Re: Identity of Short Stirling rear gunner taken prisoner of war on 2/3 September 1942 following air combat over Northern France?
Our friend Geoffrey Sinclair wishes to add the following:
"Summary for Karlsruhe raid 2/3 September 1942 is 27 Stirling sent, 24
attacked primary, 2 attacked other targets, 1 missing, 1 category AC due
to enemy action, 1 killed, 10 missing. Chorley notes 8 on board W7611
from 15 squadron, that leaves 1 killed, 2 missing.
7 Squadron 4 Stirling (Pathfinder)
15 squadron sent 5 Stirling
149 squadron sent 4 Stirling
214 squadron sent 8 Stirling
218 squadron sent 6 Stirling

According to 218 Squadron, DJ976 was attacked by enemy fighters, Reeves
was the mid upper gunner and baled out in the target area, Rogers the
rear gunner.
No idea about the other person reported missing. No other incidents
reported that I can see."
