Information concerning Flying Officer Tom Danby DF
Hi,
Can anyone provide information on the lancasters and crew that Flying Officer Tom Danby flew with in 101 Squadron and 166 Squadron. I know that he completed 2 tours and was a gunnery expert who also flew RAF B 17s. Thanks Rick |

Re: Information concerning Flying Officer Tom Danby DF
Hi,
Earlier reply in thread talks about 27 sorties but not sure where he picked the other 12 from to be awarded DFC? We're they all then ferry flights? Rick |
