Re: RAF Pilot promotion + Navigator "G.D." ?

As the son of an RAF pilot I can confirm that GD stands for General Duties - and that is the branch of the service from which aircrew came. Its a bit of a joke for those who flew in WW2, as it suggests that they were mere mortals and not very important.
