Happy Father's Day to all you Fathers out there !
I have another one for someone that might be in the know Lavar Halle Richardson, from Brigham City, Utah, Obit said prior to U.S.A. joining in WW II, he and a friend (Unknown) crossed the border to join the RCAF, that is where the dilemma starts, his obit states that he completed training and was sent to England and flew Spitfires, but it also stated that he was sent to England to ferry planes and celebrities such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Betty Grable and John Steinbeck. He transferred into the Army Air Forces, I did find info that he was assigned to 311 ATS/ 27 ATG, flying Transport B-17 Acft, sadly this Warrior passed April 15, 1997.
If anyone can shed light on where he served in the RCAF or RAF in England I would appreciate it !
Cheers
George
