Just a "Clearing Up" question, Bomber Command Archives lists P/O I.A.J. MacQueen as from the USA, but CVWM says he is from Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, Argentina, P/O I.A.J. MacQueen, J/8439, enlisted Kingstone Ontario, November 1940, Lancaster aircraft, R5603, RAF No. 44 Squadron was lost without trace on August 5, 1942. All seven crew members listed as Missing in Action, Lost Without A Trace !
Any help in clearing this up would be appreciated
Cheers
George

Hi Georgetanksherman,
Mea Culpa. I wrote the Chronology on the Bomber Command Website and just discovered that error myself.
Entirely my mistake. Sorry it caused confusion, and it will be corrected in the next update.

Re: P/O I.A.J. MacQueen
Paul,
That's what I love about this site, I am researching Americans that crossed the border to help prior to the U.S. joining in WW II, like above, when I have a question, there are some GREAT guys on here that will lend a hand, sometimes there is no further info available sometimes there is alot, just a role of the dice. I have found a lot of Americans within the Royal Canadian Air Force, Army and Navy. All with some good stories to tell.
What is crazy, is when you notify some people that their info is wrong, they get all butt hurt about it, instead of saying Thank You and Fix it, they just leave the wrong info on their site. Then there are some that appreciate the help in correcting their info !
Hope all is well and things are going okay !
Cheers
George
