Talking to neighbour yesterday

I knew he was jewish but he said his father was Polish And Flew With the RAF

 

At end of war He was flying from Italy over czechoslovakia and poland Presumably for SOE

His work was hush hush and his records have still not been released

He asked his dad if he had won a particular medal, and his dad said " yes, four times"

 

Remember if he was taken prisoner it was death sentence

Brave guy

By end of war do you mean flying to Poland post May 45 Arthur? If so that would be interesting indeed. If pre May 45 and based Italy it would be more likely he was going to the former Yugoslavia where SOE were very active.

 

Either way brave man to land in small illicit airfields in hostile country

[ArthurBottlesworth]

In all honesty I don't know what he was doing

it was definately pre 1945 but I cant remember exactly when he said it was

Might have been 43, but were we in Italy then?

Still v impressive
