S/Ldr A Cain - Bomber Command
Can anyone help me by providing any information about this chap. All I know is that he was working, during 1944, in 'Organisation 3' - which was a section within either Bomber Command Headquarters or the Air Ministry. Any help welcome and appreciated. Thanks
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
"The post which was created in 1923 was originally known as the Air Member for Supply and Research; it was renamed Air Member for Supply and Organisation in 1936 and Air Member for Logistics in 1994.[2] Since 2007 it has been the Air Member for Materiel.[2]'
Bomber Command would have had staff officers mirroring the staff in the Air Ministry.

There is a possibility that Sqd/Ldr A Cain could be Albert Cain (1539877). He apparently enlisted at Padgate in April 1941, but I can't find out anything else about him.........

Hi all. Having had a stroke of luck, I'm now pretty certain that this chap was Sqdn/Ldr Alfred Carr (106785). He shows up a few times in the London Gazette as being in the A&SD Branch of the RAF. Intriguingly, although one of these shows him as being commissioned, from F/Sgt rank with the original service number 356120, I can find no record of an Alfred Carr with that number in AIR78/28/6. Can anyone throw any light on this chap please? Thanks, Andrew
