208230 Flt.Sgt. George Carr Royal Air Force 18 Squadron My Dad, George Carr was a wireless operator air gunner in the RAF during WW2. He trained at Bicester in Oxfordshire, then flew out to Gibraltar and on to North Africa, Sicily and Italy with 18 Squadron which was equipped with Douglas Boston 3's. The only place I remember him talking about was Foggia in Italy, I know he would talk about bombing and strafing German and Italian troops moving undercover of darkness at night. I do recall many of his wartime flying stories but there are too many to tell right now, but it was very action packed.
