My Uncle Fred was shot down on the 21st October 1944. Know he is buried now in Taukkyan war cemetery. They didn't find his body until 1956.
He was with 42 Sqn but can't get on the RAF website link to found out exactly where he was based in Burma and what bridge he was bombing on his final flight.
My Father told me he went to Canada first training on Harvards, did his conversion to Hurricanes in South Africa. It was his 3rd mission. Trying through surviving relatives to find his log book.
