I’ll check for other info
EDIT. WRONG MAN, sorry, their are TWO men named DONALD GEORGE ALLEN who both died in WW2.
The Donald George Allen above was also a Sgt (Pilot) and his Service Number was R78183.
I’ll post the right man in the next post

Re: Sgt Donald George Allen
Greetings DGAllen1965, I am researching Americans that crossed the border into Canada prior to the U.S. joining in WW II, flying with the R.A.F, R.C.A.F., R.A.A.F., RNZAF, and S.A.A.F., along the way I hit snags, as it were, so I always come on this site and ask for a bit of a helping hand if I can't get all the info. I am kinda a WW II Aviation fan, and so ALL the stories that I come across interests me. I also do not want the Fallen to be Forgotten !
I have found out that there is a lot of misinformation on the web, so when I can not find the exact info that I need, I ask Temujin, he either has the
correct info or can steer me in the right direction to verify if my info is correct.
Hope all is well with you !
George
