Re: Lt Gilmore C. Daniel (RCAF)

A further anomoly - if, as implied, Daniel was awarded a decoration for his involvement in a rescue whilst with 129 Squadron, I would think it more likely to have been a DFM than a DFC - he would have been a Sergeant Pilot at the time. I don't think he received either and that the whole story is 'confused.' The DFC mentioned was probably the US DFC awarded for a sortie in Korea in 1952, which he did receive.

As far as I am aware, none of his claims appear in the respective ORBs.

Cheers
Brian
