42067 Plt Off Gerald Macdonald KiA 21 July 1940

Hi guy

The above was flying aboard a Sunderland of 204 Squadron which was shot down on 21 July 1940. He was aged 19 and was possibly an observer. His parents were listed as residing in Washington USA.

Was Gerald born in USA and therefore an American citizen?

Cheers
Brian

I believe his position aboard was 'second dickie'.
