Oliver James MM DFM

Hi guys

As a Hampden pilot, Sgt James was shot down in March 1941, captured and had a badly injured arm amputated. Nevertheless, he somehow managed to escape and reached England in March 1942. Fitted with an artificial arm he returned to operations with 245 Squadron but was shot down and killed on 4/10/43, having been awarded a Military Medal and the DFM.

Has anything been written about him, an article perhaps? Can anyone tell me more, please?

Cheers
Brian
