Re: Ezer Weizman extra info
Hi,
Just to add that Ezer's Uncle, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who was Israels 1st President lost a son in WW2 while serving with the RAF.
F/Lt. Michael Oser Weizmann was serving with 502 Squadron with Whitley V's when on the 11th February 1942 the aircraft was lost over the Bay of Biscay after reporting engine trouble.
Z6831 was lost.
Ezer's side of the family for some reason dropped the second "n" from the family surname.
Ezer could perhaps have claimed a Tempest as damaged when on January 7th
1949 he was in battle with the RAF and was thought to have inflicted damage on 6 Sqdns Tempest NX134 JV-T flown by Douglas Liquorish, hits on its tail section. Earlier in the scrap Ezer had been hit himself and as a result had to belly land with two bullet holes in the a/c , Spitfire "2018" , (I expect that it was 2013 White 18 . But his a/c was in worse condition than that of Liquorish's a/c.
