On the night of 13/14 February 1945, during the Dresden raid, Lancaster NF932 BQ-P of no. 550 Sqn RAF collided with PA185 BH-W of no. 300 (Polish) Sqn.
I am looking for the names of the crew of NF932. I presume there were no survivors. The info is bound to be in the excellent “Bomber Command Losses”, but currently I have no access to the 1945 volume. Can you help?
