Re: West Indian aircrew WWII
These are a good sites to use:
http://www.caribbeanaircrew-ww2.com/ http://caribbeanrollofhonour-ww1-ww2.yolasite.com/ I came across them whilst researching the Allied raid on Frankfurt am Main 22nd March 1944. From Dominica, Flying Officer Harold Cherberd BRYANT (143598), RAFVR 514 Squadron was awarded the DFC for his actions. http://caribbeanrollofhonour-ww1-ww2...ant_HC_DFC.pdf The event sounds like an incendiary was accidentally drop on them over the target. ![]() Hope that helps.
