Hello,
It would appear that both 2TAF and FCL3 are incorrect in recording Doyle as a fatality.
J/22160 F/O William A. DOYLE RCAF. Died 14 March, 2010, aged 90.
Legion Branch,: West Point Grey Branch, Vancouver, Canada.

There was also a W. Doyle who was a Guinea Pig, but l have no further details on that. l can't access my copy of 'The Reconstruction of Warriors' at the moment. Could someone take a look and see if Doyle rates a mention?
One, E A Doyle, was also a 'Guinea Pig'.
The reason l mention this, is that Spitfire IX NH575 is recorded as bursting into flames on crash-landing, and there is remote chance that Doyle suffered burns. l won't speculate further than that!
Col.
