World War Two / Re: Air Force Lookups - if you need help

Re F/O James Archibald Lancaster PB253 Squadron 526 became POW .Sent to hospital in Paris as wounds needed greater medical attention.He was looked after by the local people until he became too ill and became a POW  He was liberated in Paris and returned to England.
He was invalided out of the airforce and returned to NZ on the death of his father. For many years he was every year fighting  the POW association about information that listed him as missing in action.  I presume that is why  everyone had such difficulty finding him.
