John Roberts, Air Gunner, 108 Sqn

Hi,

I found John Roberts name in the list: The Best Commonwealth Gunners on Bombers -World War II on the site Air Aces (http://math.fce.vutbr.cz/safarik/ACES/index.html).

According to this site he destroyed 12 enemy aircraft as an air gunner on Blenheims of 108 Squadron. It would be interesting to learn more about this man and the claims he made.

Thanks in advance
Peter
