Re: Lt/Col Selden Raymond Edner
Hello Leendert,
Thanks for that, I think it was a Greek Air Force AT-6 and Selden Edner was an observer. Such a sad end to a brave and talented pilot with 5 claims for destroyed a/c, 1-shared probable and 2 damage which earned him a DFC while with 121 sqn before transfering to the USAAf in September,1942. As his injuries were revealed after his death, so why no details of his burial place. Roy |

Re: Lt/Col Selden Raymond Edner
I'd say he is listed on this page here in a California funerla home list, the date march 22 1949 might refer to his date of burial.
www.scchgs.org/wfh/wfhe.html newspaper stories published at the time say that his wife lived in California.

Re: Lt/Col Selden Raymond Edner
Hello Dennis,
Thanks for the leads, I am sure some one can narrow down where in San Jose he was buried, possibly along side his 4 month old daughter. Roy |
