Pilots from Southern Rhodesia

I am trying to establish the date and place of birth of the following pilots who I believe came from Southern Rhodesia. Also looking for photographs of them.
Flt Lt Thomas Archibald Burke SR80139
Flt Lt Paul Prendergast Devenish SR80198
Flt Lt John Frederic Fortescue Finnis SR80035
Flt Lt John Robert Haarhoff SR80154
Flt Lt Allan Thomas Willis SR80371
Regards
Andy

A starting point perhaps:

A book about a particular pilot (not on your list):
