Re: Help with NAMES of PRU, PDU, 212 Squadron recon pilots
Laurent, merci beaucoup pour les informations! Super, c´est éxactement ce que je cherchais...
Bruce and Andy, very nice new INFO. Thanks a lot...I did not know there were so many PR losses between 1940-41...I thought that the grievest losses came by the end of 1944/early 1945 with the Me 262 and mid 1943 with the Fw 190s of JG 1/ JG 11.
I found this subject fascinating, because one had to be as precise as a bomber pilot, as smart and conscious as a fighter pilot and as good at navigation as an Observer of Coastal Command!...and one has to have the "guts" to go outside with no guns...facing Flak, bad weather, enemy fighters and all other sort of hazards ( oxygen problems, engine failure, etc...). Superb men those PR pilots...It is a pity that nowadays it is all done by spy satellytes...
Thanks again for your kind help, to both of you.
Friendly as ever
Adriano
