Ed Berry 3rd Photographic Group USAAf
I'm trying to document the recon pilots of the 3rd Photographic Group who were sent to Malta in 1943.I'm having some success using the book "Memoirs of World War II-The true Stories of a Canadian Fighter Pilot" by Laurie E. Philpotts, who served with 610Sq in 1941 before transferring to Malta as a PR pilot in 1942-1943. One pilot I cannot trace is Lt. Ed Berry. I have traced the following pilots: Ike Webb (KIA 10-24-43). George German, Arthur Luthy, and Joseph L. Sugg. There is a photograph in the book that helps identify all the pilots of the 3rd PG
