Re: Operation Jubilee aircrew list
Hi Steve
Back again with one more I believe it was S/Ldr E H P Wheller from 171Sqn. I have really enjoyed perusing your list and will probably do some more! I am struck by at least two things. The way you have arranged the list in order of rank gives a very powerful representation of the structure of the RAF, the shape of the pyramid in the RAF with nine pages of P/Offs and 12 pages of Sgts! I am struck by the small number of Australians (17?). I wonder if it was simply the case that not so many Aussies had come through the pipeline by August 1942. However in my experience of poring over quite a few ORBs I have found that many ORBs do not clearly record where pilots were from the Commonwealth countries perhaps that may be a contributory factor. You are going to have to write another book about Dieppe now. Steve |
