Hi Temujin,
Can you post a nominal roll from June or May of 45?

I’m sorry, I don’t have nominal rolls for those months

All, I am the nephew of Charles Young and have carried out extensive research on his training in Canada, service in the RAF, transfer to the USAAF, and death on June 6, 1944.

More detail on Canadian Service Numbers in the RCAF The subject of RCAF personnel service numbers seems to weigh on many minds, and so I propose to submit what might be entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About RCAF Service Numbers and Were Afraid to Ask." Credit, however, belongs to C.S. N...

Can anyone tell me what the difference (if any) is between a number starting with O and one starting with J? I have come across a Thomas Edward DICKENS who flew as an Air Gunner with 78 Squadron initially as R85360 and then once commissioned (Feb/March 1945) he is shown as being both O93518 and J93...

D-7 Armoured Bulldozer. If you look closely to the left side on the front of the engine compartment, you can see the “landing serial” of this Dozer written in chalk. With this information you can determine the ‘landing craft” and possibly the unit that this Dozer belonged to http://wartimes.ca/wp-c...

Daz, no luck on your aircrew questions above (still looking)…..but while searching found a few other Canadian’s in 78 Squadron. You may have all this info but thought I would post it to you anyway 4263996E-FECA-449F-A79D-E2AFE201BF2D.jpeg 8F533CAE-4D52-4AA7-B21C-8329E738A5B6.jpeg E576B3AB-C739-43E8-...

Wow - again, I am amazed. I should think this is the Meyer who was mentioned in "Out of the Clouds" and - the author probaly got the intials wrong. We all know how easy it is to make such mistakes.
