Sgt 754041 Robert Dudley Hogg.
17 Sqn
KIA 11/11/1940.
I am looking for any information regarding the pilot above. I believe that he originally came from Bedford.
I would like to find out about his life, RAF career etc.
I’m sure that someone out there knows something.
Any info/pics etc would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance.

Hogg, from Bedford joined the RAFVR about June 1939 as an Airman u/t Pilot. Called up on Sept 1, he completed training at 6 FTS, Little Rissington and arrived at 6 OTU Sutton Bridge on August 3 1940.
After converting to Hurricanes, Hogg was posted to 56 Sqn at North Weald on the 31st. He moved to 17 Sqn at Debden on Sept 11.
Hogg claimed a Bf 110 destroyed on the 27th, shared a Do 17 on October 24, shared a Bf 109 on the 29th and destroyed a Ju 87 and shared another on Nov 8.
Following a combat with Ju 87s and Bf 109s off Burnham on Nov 11 Hogg crashed at Monckton, near Manston and was killed aged 22. He is buried in Bedford Cemetery.
