Re: crash location 51 Sqn Halifax HR852, 11-12 June 1943?

A newspaper story on Braxton Roberts. The story starts halfway down the first column, "Cape Soldier is Liberated......"

I think he may have been shot down not on his first mission "with" the AAF but perhaps on his "final" mission with the RAF/RCAF. He may have just transferred to the AAF but had not yet been assigned or moved to a U.S. unit.
