  1. Hi

    Just found your blog. My Uncle was one of the British Airmen killed on the night of 18 July (not June) 1944.

  2. Hi Liz, my great uncle was also part of the British crew. Charlie Taylor, I am trying to find more information about his service history but so far no luck. Do you have anything about their time together as a crew?
