Sgt William Dunn KIA 10/12/41
A relative of Sgt William Dunn (987476) has asked me to look into the circumstances of his death on 10/12/41 whilst he was at No.13 OTU.
Would anybody have any clues on how to find out information about the crash, perhaps a combination of the following: No. 13 OTU base records books? Accident Investigation report? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

The starboard engine cut at 50 feet during the take off and the bomber crashed and burst into flames. All three crew were killed: Flt Sgt G H Schrader RCAF (pilot), Sgt A W Steadman and Sgt William Dunn.
