an interesting item but using Chorley’s 1945 Losses i can only trace a possible Halifax loss as MZ984 (347 Sq) which lists ‘Sgt E Usai FFAF’ as an injured air gunner during operations to Ludwigshafen 2-3 Jan 1945 . is this the ‘F Uzay’ of the article ?

anyone out there know any different ?

I can’t help directly but I believe the book “Halifax pour Victory” lists (and has photos) of the french crews/losses for both squadrons in its appendix at the back. I will take a look when I get home tonight.

BTW: It is a splendid book if you can get hold of it. The story of a tour of operations of a Pilot called Pilot officer Joules. It gives a real insight into the differences in the way the French crews operated within bomber command…
