operation Oyster dec 6 1942 Boston III (Z2266), 226 sqdr
On December 6st. 1942 Boston III (Z2266) of 226 sqdr. crashed in the North sea west of the Island of Rozenburg. This plane probably paticipated in Operation Oyster, the famous raid on the Philips factories in Eindhoven.
Does anybody know the exact cause of loss and does anynybody have a list of he crew. I only have F/O N.J.A. Paton. Unfortunately i don't have access to Bomber command losses 1942 at the moment which probably contains this info. |
