Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
His service number was J40415. He was in training in early 1944 so probably went overseas later that year. He was from Ontario, (maybe Stratford??).

Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
He's mentioned in Vol. 2, 1942 of the magazine Canadian Air Cadet as member of 19 (Stratford) Squadron. No first name here either...

Hi Danny,
I found him twice in my database about the BC missions to Chemnitz. He flew in the crew of F/L Robert Arthur Andrew, Lanc I, DV407, SR-R2, No. 101 Sqdn. Best wishes, René |
