RAF Pathfinder 97 Lancaster Squadron WW2

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any information about my dad James { Jimmy } Pymar Billing DFC who flew Lancasters in 97 Squadron.
My dad died aged 56 running for a bus in Edinburgh on 21st Jan 1976 when I was 9 years old, and didn't talk about WW 2 or why he was awarded the DFC.
I was in touch with Doug Curtis one of his gunners from British Columbia, but sadly he's died.
I know my dad was involved in raids on Peenemunde, but that's about all. I don't have any logbooks or medals.
If anyone can shed any light, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks, best regards, Matt.
