My friend’s dad who sadly does not have very long left is looking for information on his own dad.
Name: Ralph Billings, flew Hudson’s with the RCAF as a tail gunner.
Killed in action in WW2 in the Mediterranean with sq608 at the age of 19.
They are looking for websites with info on the following:
– Sq. information
– AC Type information
– Theater info.
Or anything of interest.
Tks in advance for any links.
