Further to my earlier post re Flight Sgt Niezrecki. I notice he was a co pilot in the Jan 1942 incident and three moths later he was still a co pilot in the end of April 1942 incident.
I mention this as my Uncle was the sole pilot in his Wellington from No 40 Squadron which came down in the sea off Wilhelmshaven also in Jan 1942.
When exactly did the RAF go to single pilot operation on Bombers? Apart of course using second dickeys for them to get experience before being let loose on their own something which I believe all pilots had to do initially.
Correction Just noticed my Uncle did have a co pilot so above question is pertinent.
