F/O A.A. HOMBURG, Danish fighter pilot in RAF

Hi guys

Can anyone help? I require some details of the above, who flew Spitfire XIVs with 322 (Dutch) Squadron in 1944. First name would be a help.

Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian,

F/O Aart Albert Homburg was born on 12 June 1917 in IJmuiden/Holland. So not Danish. He died at 1 April 1945 at Delden/Holland.

Regards,
Rob

Thanks Rob & Laurent for the details - I assume the notation that he was Danish was an error on someone's part (not mine on this occasion!!)

Cheers for putting the record straight (mine at least)

Brian
