anybody got any info on this unit ?

old game had W. Ferris as a WC and CO of the squadron

I doing some hunting down of names and I find a Walter H. Ferris of 608 , but he is a WO ?

(of course, I do find a English airman, W. Ferris, but he is a Flight Sgt, I also find another W. Ferris for the RCAF but he is a Air Gunner)

any ideas ?

(I am working off a list of the dead, so, if W. Ferris didn't get killed, he is not going to show up :)

thanks, I look them over in the morning

I found another decent site, but again, I am working off of dead lists (I really hate to work off of dead lists, they depress me)

thanks those are workable

man I feel like a ghoul, I find a couple of CO's who were KIA, and I know I can track there names down

type in a name at random, and come up with 4 pages of dead aircrew, oh joy
