Re: Lt Gilmore C. Daniel (RCAF)

What exactly do you want to know?

He was with 71 Squadron, and was shot down and taken prisoner on 31/10/41, after shooting down 3 Me109s.

There's also some info on him at:

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
