625 Squadron RAF.

Can anybody advise please details of operational missions this squadron undertook between its formation on 1 October 1943 and 21 December 1943.

I am researching the service of 409130 Sergeant WJ Allan (Royal Australian Air Force) who served with 625 squadron prior to his transfer to 166 Squadron.

Similarly, if any person can provide details of mission undertaken by 166 Squadron between 21 December 1943 and 31 March 1944 (the date Sgt Allan was KIA) I would be grateful.


Regards,

Hi Ian,

I unfortunately do not have answer to your question--and hope perhaps someone has been able to help.

However, years ago I bought a book at the Smithsonian museum in Washington that had incredible details of ops of all squadrons during the War. If I remember correctly, was also broken down in time segments.

Sadly I did not keep the volume when I moved. However, I would be willing to try and find the title thru one of the many on-line booksellers and forward to you. Then you might be able to locate thru library.

This was not a book one reads for pleasure-very historical and detail orientated.

If you would like to reply privately:
