Re: P/O P.T. Park, RCAF
Looking George, only thing I found said he was from USA……but no other details, trying to determine first name so I can narrow down the search

Temujin,
According to the book "American Night Fighter Aces" after RCAF training in Canada, Paul Park was sent to Africa where he was assigned to RAF No. 89 Squadron flying Bristol Beaufighters, occasionally flying V8447. Not sure what the T stands for though !
Cheers for the help,
George

Found him in 89 Squadron. I don’t think he was American BUT, I could be wrong (his father or mother may have been American, making him one)

Temujin,
I looked him up on Find-A-Grave hoping it would list his family, to give me an idea of where all the (U.S.) tags came from, but there was no mention of his family at all ! Will keep trying to find the connection, if there is any !
Cheers
