Re: 2nd/Lt. STEINER - US Army Air Corps - March 1944

Leendert, thank you so much!

Seems a promissing road, that you opened for me now...However the 2nd/Lt Steiner I mentioned earlier graduated at the CGS at RAF Catfoss (44 Course, 16th March 1944). I do have a whole picture of the group of airmen (am aware some may not be fighter pilots at all, but rather "bus drivers") and am trying to match the full names of those depicted.

Amongst those US members present that I managed to ID there were:
Captain Baer (later a General)
1/Lt Rosenberger (possibly 1st Lieutenant Abe P Rosenberger (O-678942)

Amongst the RAF airmen:
F/Lt Boddington (possibly Michael Christopher Bindloss Boddington)

Sadly the other names are too well familiar for a positive ID (100% match):
F/L Johnson
F/L King
F/L Butcher
F/O Brown
F/O Kennety
P/O Butcher
F/O Nalder
F/L Roberts
F/L Sampson
F/L Fleming (found one in 232 Sqdn, one i 201 Sqdn and another Fleming)

Sadly too, File AIR 29/605 and 606 were not digitalized yet...so I am unable to check who they were...

Thank you nevertheless for your prompt help and "North" to follow regarding 1st/Lt Steiner..He may be the one am looking for.

Adriano
