[rodl]

Hi just stumbled upon this forum, can anyone help me with any information on my father and his crew his name was DWH Little,  sergeant 1398493 originally in 50 squadron at Skellingthorpe then transferred to 97 sqdn at Bourn  where he was shot down and killed on his first mission for 97 sqdn.
His pilot was Carlos Brown an American . I believe he completed 14 missions with 50 sqdn but any info would be appreciated
thanks
