Re: Wellington 157 Sqdn. vs U-459 24.07.1944

Orwell1984,

Nothing really, just a correction!

Missing from Jagan's casualty list for No.172 Wellington XII MP514 on 24 July, 1943, is 957961 Sgt (W.Op./Air Gnr.) Arthur Alexander 'Ack-Ack' TURNER RAFVR, who was the sole survivor picked up along with the U-boat survivors, by the Polish destroyer "Orkan".
