Warrant Officer Norman Oakes
Royal Australian Air Force 460 Sqd.
from:Bolton
My Grandfather Norman Oakes, was in the flight crews of RAAF 460 Squadron. He was one of a handful of British men assigned to this squadron but apart from this information, we don't anything more about his service during WWII. If anyone knows more please get in touch.
Editor's note: It's quite likely that your Grandfather was a Flight Engineer, as only British air crew were trained for this role.
