Losse of 221 Sqdn airman Frank Albert Clayton

A quick search of the CWGC site shows that all the men listed by Ross died on the same day, 24th March 1944.

221 Squadron were at the time operating anti-submarine patrols out of Luqa, Malta. I strongly suspect that if there is any more detail to be found then Ross may be the man to provide it.

It’s sobering to think that another search I did for that date reveals that 214 airmen died on that one particular day. It seems Sergeant Clayton’s aircraft was the only one lost by the Squadron on that date.

Hope this helps.
