Wing Commander V.J Wheeler MC, Bar DFC, Bar
I am looking for any information on Wing Commander Vashon James Wheeler M C & Bar, DFC & Bar who was killed on 22/23/03/44 on a raid against Frankfurt. His service number was 76594. He took over command of 207 Squadron in February 1944 and was 46 years of age when he was killed!
I am most interested in when and how he was awarded his Military Crosses. Was he awarded these during the First War as a member of the RFC, or as a soldier fighting in the trenches? His family originated from Clee Stanton in Shropshire. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, David.
