Mike,
No problem! Do you think you can tell us a little more about your friend? Some questions (1) What RAF squadrons did he serve in? (2) How was he shot down? (3) Anything he can say about the 86th FG, a not very well documented unit?

Re: RAF Pilot W.C. " Kip " Hammond -Adler
Carlos- The original enquiry came from Wally Fydenchuck a Historian in Canada trying to verify his RCAF service. He is doing a series of books called "Immigrants of War " about Americans who joined RCAF WW II. See my review in books forum.
For info on Adler go to http://www.p47pilots.com/index.cfm click on biographies. I forwarded your info to Wally - Thanks
