AA62: Right, I now know your man - a relatively rare Bomber Command CO who wasn't a pilot. When he flew on Ops, it was normally as Air Bomber and when in India, as Second Pilot until a supply of two-winged ex-glider pilots was sent out to take over. He was still CO for the fateful detachment to Burma in March 1946 and I wonder if his logbook says anything at all about the 3 losses on 29 March 46 and the subsequent searches for survivors?
