68 Sqn is on a distinguished road
Re: American crew 68 Sqn RAF

Frank
Thank you very much for your help.
I looked (Personnel Occurrence Report) POR 68 Sqn.
There is written: Lt. H.T.MARTIN - that's right.

is written:
The Squadron had really taken to the American crews, who though more formal than the RAF, were super chaps, and 68 were most upset when Joe Black and Tom Aitken were killed pursuing a flying-bomb. Apparently they followed the bomb into the gunstrip and tragically the guns missed the bomb, but brought down the Mosquito. Soon after this there was another tragedy when Sam Peebles and Dick Grinndal, having been scrambled for anti-diver activity at 22:30 hours and just airborne, reported going over to channel 'D' on the R/T, but crashed near Horstead at 22:33 hours, both were killed. It is good to be able to say that John Kelly and TOM MARTIN survived the War.
Regards Pavel
