Greetings Everyone,
Not sure if anyone can help, but you don't really know unless you ask. Been working on Americans involved in Operation Jubilee, Dieppe, France Raid on August 19, 1942.
I have a R.C.A.F. P/O David L. Rogan, J/8220, Middlesboro, Kentucky, U.S.A. that was flying with R.A.F. No. 13 Squadron flying Bristol Blenheims, mission to lay smoke, and bomb Anti-Aircraft positions with Phosphorous bombs, looking to find out which Blenheim P/O Rogan was flying, and who his crew was, if known, there were 6 of No.13 Squadron Blenheims Flying that day, Z6089, Z5811, V5380 (F.T.R.), Z5882, Z6558 and Z3545.
V5380 was shot down off Dieppe by Flak whilst laying a smokescreen, Pilot: P/O C.L. Woodland, RAFVR, Observer: Sgt A.S. Boyd, RAFVR, and Gunner: Sgt H.G. Neville, RNZAF, all 3 crew members K.I.A. - May they R.I.P. !
Crews Unknown:
Z6089 Damaged off Dieppe by A/A fire after laying the smoke screen, crash landed at Thruxton, crew safe.
Z5811
Z5882
Z6558
Z2545
Appreciate if someone can lend a helping hand, if info is available ! P/O David L. Rogan after flying 13 missions with RAF No. 13 Sqdn transferred to USAAF, Assigned to 358th BS, (B-17's) 303rd BG, 8 AF, then shipped to the Pacific B-29 Group, 9th BG, 20th AF.
