Re: Lt David W Howe USAAF
I have checked the ORB of 401 Sqn for April, May and June (only F540 for this month, 540 and 541 for the others). No mention at all of Howe in the ORB that is very detailled (mentionning people being posted in and out, even for a short period, and the Form 541 has all flights, including liaison, training, administrative and so on).
The ORB also reports people visiting the squadron and says that on 5 June 1943 Maj Don Blakeslee, former 401 pilot, "blew in in his big Thunderbolt for a visit". On the 19tho of the same month, F/O Don P. Kelly, of New York City (so I assume another American), returns to the squadron after one year in Canada and one month with 416 Sqn.
