As the relevant volume of the rather fabulous ‘Costal Command Losses’ has not been published yet, I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable people could help a relative of one Sgt. Harry Shaw find out some information about his loss?
They know that he was a crew member of a 58 Squadron Halifax lost on the 15th August 1943 but have no other details.
Can anyone add anything more?
Thank you.

Thank you both for that.
Five JU-88s are not what you want to run into during your patrol.
All very sad.

From the Service Number you should be able to apply for his Service Records.
I’m sure an expert will be along soon to give you far more details.
