Operations of A/C ACH Sharp with 8th Air Force

[alain charpentier]

Hello,

Air Commodore Sharp did three operations on B17 as Air Gunner in 1943 as liaison Officer with 8th Air Force.
The first was on 14 July 1943 , I have only few details, I believe he went to Hannover and one other was to Villacoublay.
I would like to discover in what crew he flew for these three ops.
I know he acted as waist gunner, on 14 July 1943 his aircraft was "attacked viciously and persistently by numerous ennemy fighter planes; displaying great courage and gallantry, A/C Sharp manned his guns and assisted in driving off repeated attacks of hostile planes".

Could you help to find more on these operations ??

Thank you, Alain.
