Re: RCAF pilots
Am I right to assume you're studying 263 Sqn pilots?
A random look on the CWGC website gave McPhail, Le Gear and Woodward as KIA with 263 Sqn and with these three I had only started... Perhaps some first general info on where they all came from and their ages on said website? Regards, Leendert

Re: RCAF pilots
Hi Leendert,
Thanks, I know about the CWGC site and am familiar with the info it provides. Where an age is given I can work out the year the individual was born. Where the parents were from doesn't necessarily indicate that the individual was born there as well. Both my kids were not born in the area my wife and I are from. So far I have the names of 12 RCAF pilots who flew with 263 Squadron. I thought I would list them all in the hope that someone may be able to add to some of the background info I am looking for. Alex

Re: RCAF pilots
Many of the background details you are looking for, town of origin etc, appear in "They Shall Grow Not Old" ISBN 0-920436-41-2.

Re: RCAF pilots
Dear Alex,
If you are having problems accessing "They Shall Not Grow Old", let me know and I'll e-mail the information on these airmen. I tried sending you an e-mail but it bounced back. Norman Malayney nmalayneyATyahoo.com
