Hi all,

I am trying to find the full name and what squadron this Nav served on. I believe in 1943 and was RCAF.

Thanks for your time and help. And anything relevant would be brill.

Thanks

May help, there is an E G Lobsinger in findagrave

[RSwank]

In the book One Ton Lancs:

https://books.google.com/books?id=gn...page&q&f=false

on page 45, 3rd column near the bottom. FO E. C. Lobsinger is listed on the crew of Lancaster DV245. This plane flew in 101 squadron.

Great, thanks guys. A great help.

[RSwank]

His service number was J40415. He was in training in early 1944 so probably went overseas later that year. He was from Ontario, (maybe Stratford??).

[Danny152]

It’s a great surname!

[RSwank]

He is listed on this website:

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...h-101-squadron



Search for "Lobsinger".

[Leendert]

He's mentioned in Vol. 2, 1942 of the magazine Canadian Air Cadet as member of 19 (Stratford) Squadron. No first name here either...

Hi Danny,

I found him twice in my database about the BC missions to Chemnitz.
He flew in the crew of F/L Robert Arthur Andrew, Lanc I, DV407, SR-R2, No. 101 Sqdn.

Best wishes,
René
