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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

suggest exp in the range 75-85 for most pilots as in theory all should have completed one tour already (or at the very least be well through their first tour).

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

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

already had them, but will adjust there exp level

[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]
[font="times new roman"][/font] 
[font="times new roman"][/font] 

Thank you, he was with them in 43 I know, not sure when he joined

Shaggy do you have the Shores follow up book to Aces High ?
