Brian Carbury (Kiwi ace of BoB)

What happened to him?
All I have been able to find is two lines in "Aces High" by Chris Shores : Details are unavailable, but it appears that he was required to resign his commission under a cloud during 1944.
Thanks in advance.

Chris

Hi Chris,

'Carbury remained an instructor until dismissed from the service in 1944 following a court martial for bouncing cheques that had been written to cover his wife's opulent lifestyle.'

He obviously chose the wrong 'No2'!

See 'Spitfire Vs Bf 109: Battle of Britain' by Tony Holmes (preview at Books Google)

Cheers,

Bruce

Post war he was involved in ferrying aircraft in 1948 to Palestine for the Jews in their struggle.
