F/Lt Arthur G Donahue
F/Lt A.G. Donahue, A US BofB vet was shot down and killed 11 Sep 42 while attacking a Ju 88 off the Belgian coast around 0630. He was with 91 Sqn. Does anyone know what Ju88 unit got him? It could be a recon unit.

Re: F/Lt Arthur G Donahue
Interesting man. He wrote two books about his experiences in the RAF.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Donahue This next write up states that he shot down the JU 88 in the final encounter, but his Spitfire had suffered damage. https://www.bbm.org.uk/airmen/Donahue.htm Last edited by RSwank; 5th April 2023 at 14:20. |
