Greetings, trying to see if I can get some info on two members of this aircraft that was shot down over Germany on July 29, 1944, I have all the info on the rest of the crew members but two of them.
1) Flt Sgt W.E. Mylchreest, RCAF, P.O.W., Need to find his hometown
Also while searching for info, the web shows him with three different Personnel Numbers J/90072, J/90872 and R/214600, which one is right ?
2) Flt Lt R.V. Smyth, J/20914, RCAF, P.O.W., Need to find his hometown as well !
All help will truly be appreciated !
Cheers
George
