The oldest aircrew member I am aware of (Coastal Command) was - Wing Commander Lionel Frederick William Cohen, DSO, MC (World War I), DFC (World War II) was known as 'Sos' or sausage to all who knew him, and Evergreen to all his RAF comrades.He led a fascinating life -
This gallant gentleman served in four wars, was Army and also an observer in ww1(DSO, MC).Whilst officially a liason officer with Coastal in ww2 he volunteered to fly as a gunner and was
awarded DFC aged 69 after completing (70 ?) ops.
Oldest aircrew and oldest flying medal winner ??
hopefully the link below to a bio of Sos will work.
