Seeking ID of 3 Sqn. RAF Pilots

I am seeking to further identify the following pilots of 3 Sqn. RAF:

Hassal, P/O Ralph (RCAF) [Jun.44-Apr.45] - looking for his service number.

Jones, P/O A. [Apr.45] - possibly Allen Jones (185477)

Malia, W/O W. [May 45] - in the book 263 and 137 Squadron: The Whirlwind Years by Robert Bowater, W/O William Malia is listed as serving briefly with 137 Sqn. from 10 March to 10 April 1943 and then posted to 91 Sqn. This is possibly the same individual. However, although listed as RAFVR, no service no. is given. I also do not find him listed in AIR 78.

Saunders, W/O D. G. [May 45]

Smith, F/Sgt. D. M. [Jun-Aug.44]

Wright, W/O E. [May 45]

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Interesting story at link.
