Hi all!
Does anyone know any details about the death of W/C John W Gillan, DFC and bar, AFC (called „Downwind“), former CO of 111 Squadron, who died on 29 August 1941 over Channel? Which Wing did he lead? What was the cause of his loss? Also any details about his 7 air victories would be of great help (date, type of e/c, location)…
When did he receive AFC and for what?

Thanks.
