Re: USAAF aircraft 19-8-1942 (Sudan)
Hello Henk,
Forwhat its worth , these airmen's details have been requested before maybe even on this site, as I have the followingon a peice of paper - details from the CWGC or Canadian Virtual War Memorial site.
P/O. Elroy Fenwick Bent age 19, son of Ernest Elroy and Lorna Henrietta. Husband of Frances Evelyn of Upper Granville, Annapolis Co, NS.
P/O. Peter Hersey Wyman, son of John Kirby and Jessie Maud of Montreal Province of Quebec. BA McGill University.
So some trace may be found on the web ?
The only USAAF a/c losses were B17's, B24's, B25's and P40's in August 42. I was wondering if there were any US Spitfires on hand or in the process of being delivered as I have on the same peice of papoer a ref - Beautiful, three Spits - and "They Shall Grow Not Old" Les Allison. Connection may be nil .
There were also several aircraft lost en route from the US to the MTO.
Then also there were I think some that were on delivery to India and even the USSR via Iran. Little is reported about these aircraft or their crews.
Good Hunting
Alex
