Dear Anne
Yes, I know of involvement of your father in Warsaw Airlift. He flew both sorties in Liberator EV838 H. The first sortie was on 13/14 August, the crew jettisoned load over Sule (Montenegro) due to mechanical failure and turned back. On the very next night they were over Warsaw and dropped supplies on Plac Napoleona. During the sortie they noticed downing of crews of Szostak (1586 SDF), Casey (148 Sqn), van Rensburg and van Eyssen (31 Sqn SAAF). Van Eyssen passed away in RSA few years ago I think. I think Wojtek can send you some photos from Warsaw that may be of your interest and possibly send you some addresses. I know he contacted Urry's nephew, so presumably already send you an email as well. Best wishes
