    Has anyone got info on an unknown B17 that crashed,Lapworth,Warwickshire,on the second Regensburg raid(14/10/43?).
    The Roger Freeman book has let me down:(…..

    Think it may be a 92nd bomb group aircraft but will check my paperwork and books in the next couple of days they are everywhere at the moment due to decorating my den!

    Thanks to all of you for your time and effort i am truly gobsmacked at what i purchased as a run of the mill unresearched group turned out to be this important have read the letters from Sgt Pickerings parents now.The letters mention his wounds often and the loss of his freind ‘Bunny’ who i take was one of the gunners killed.What truly amazing people heroes every last one of them .The guts it must of taken from the battle in the air to the crash in the sea and the evasion.So not only would Pickering himself hold the DFM but would of been a goldfish club member.

    Hi got letters from John .d. Pickerings parents addressed to sgt Pickering.Later i have a document from railway telling him a box has arrived for him this is 1943 dated calls him f/sgt.I also am only assuming he was bomber command so he could well be coastal.The dfm is mentioned on an entitlement document dated 1946.I have a photograph of him with him holding his name on a plaque under him and a number i think this is while in Sweden.All the letters to him start july 42- aug 42 and mention how he is recovering from his injuries so must have been recent to then all are addressed to Sweden.
