Real Life Pilots For Inclusion

[von Shagmeister]

Not sure if Van or van is correct, both are in common use in documents/books. I don't know if the Dutch have a convention for it.
 
For German names von is correct but you can still find Von in common use amongst non German speakers.

[Hard Sarge]

roger, but it is odd seeing the same writer using it both ways ?

by the by, did you see the Vol 9 by Chorley ?

just showed up on my doorstep

outstanding, but going to be HARD to work with

ORIGINAL: Hard Sarge

by the by, did you see the Vol 9 by Chorley ?

outstanding, but going to be HARD to work with

Yes but I'm going to give it a miss as I have Vols 1-8 and correct me if I'm wrong but Vol 9 is a roll of honour so all info will be contained in the earlier volumes.

Will try and post some of 6 Group tonight.

[Hard Sarge]

yea, it is the rolls of honor, 57000 some names, but they are full names, but do not have the plane type or crew postion

[von Shagmeister]

Full names would be useful but as you say without crew position etc will be hard to make easy use of.

[Hard Sarge]

got one, I think

Fo Harry John Randall 49 Squadron, KIA 8-18-43 (119813)

yeap, that is him, CCGC has him also


SL Richard Nevil Todd-White, HCU, KIA 8-18-43 (37368)

odd

I get Walter Ralph Haskell, 57 Squadron, KIA 8-17-43 (44563)

wonder if he was lost early in the raid and the others later on ? or if there was a another raid on the 18th

[Hard Sarge]

Okay Shaggy, got them in, plus some 50 2nd Tac guys

[von Shagmeister]

There was a small BC raid on Torino 16-17Aug43 but Haskell was MIA on the Peenemuende raid. T/O time for his a/c is given as 21:44 - nothing further heard.

Shaggy

you got anything on 247 ?

I got "Chuck" Cosar
"Oscar" Cosar

but then I find a kill claim for a Fo. C.S. Cossar from 247 around the same time

these could be another brother pair (I have found more then a few of them in the RAF and US) in the same squadron

do you have anything for them ? time should be late 43, early 44

[von Shagmeister]

Not got anything on any Cosar or Cossar
 
Two brothers for you, I've only just entered their details. Interestingly both were definitely nicknamed "Duke"
 
As of 17Aug43
 
F/O Warren, Douglas; 165 Sqn; 0.33 Kills; Exp 75
F/O Warren, Bruce; 165 Sqn; 2.33 Kills; Exp 80

[Hard Sarge]

[von Shagmeister]

[font=arial]F/O Charles Stewart Cossar 247 Sqn received DFC 26Sep44. However don't know if he was serving with 247 Sqn as of 17Aug43[/font]
