Re: 107 Sqn RAF

Photos of the us pilot in the raf , at this point he had been promoted from f/sgt his name was Art, possibly short for Arthur, notce the lapel flash with U S ....... That was dated Nov 1943 and is beleived to have been killed

the second photo is of all three crew Don, Sid, and Art at that point they were Sgt's. Date un known and surnames not know other than Sid's (S E Millbank)

Re: 107 Sqn RAF

David

Sorry I have no more info. What I gave you was from W R Chorley's " Bomber Command Losses" for 1943.
The only point I missed out (as I thought it was irrelevant to you) is that this was the last Boston written off by 107 prior to them transferring to 2nd Tactical Air Force.

Some body may have the ORB on this forum but if not try asking on the RAF Commands Forum as well. Good luck

John

Sqn code was OM - Chorley does not state the individual A/C number in this case.
