Re: Lt Gilmore C. Daniel (RCAF)
Hi Montana & Amrit1
I don't wish to start another controversy, but I am sure that Daniel did not receive the DSO or DFC (may have been awarded a US DFC though?). Nor was he credited with any kills as far as I am aware, even though I have seen it written that he shot down up to five German aircraft including a Ju88, but none of these appear in various squadron records. Perhaps someone can prove otherwise. Cheers Brian |
