Re: South African pilots ....experts needed!
Hi
There is a person named Michael Schoeman who is currently busy on a book that covers this specific topic as well. He has no e-mail communication but I see him some times. What specific info do you require and maybe I can approach him? |

Re: South African pilots ....experts needed!
Hiya,
Its to do with P/O F Posener who was KIA on the 20th July 1940. I am trying to locate his DOB, where he went to school and if he has any family still alive? Any help would be very grateful. Regards Danny
