Can anyone suggest how one might find the service history of an American born RCAF trained pilot from 1940-42, I have his name and that he was supposed to have flown Spits and Hurricanes. Any help in how to research this is appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

One site you might like to look at is the Nanton Museum's tribute to American's who served in the RCAF. 379 American's died while serving with the RCAF in Bomber Command. Overall 9000 American's served in the RCAF with 800 being killed.
