EDIT: Well the record I posted above is WRONG. He WAS W.J. Chapman. Confirmed in “They Shall Not Grow Old”........but having said that, still not finding any records to give me hometown
Re: RCAF 420 Sqdn, Hometown research
Another man I’m having issues with. Records on this flight were “all over the place” with him NOT included on the crew, and then documents saying it was a 5 man crew, but no name, and a book showing him as Canadian (which he is not)......so looked up the operational records and his name IS ON the CREW. Now to see if I can find him.Temujin wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 4:38 pmgeorgetanksherman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 4:03 pm
