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

"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
