FO James William Lynes
Royal Air Force 9 Squadron
from:Oxford
(d.20th Dec 1942)
Flying Officer Lynes was my father. He was killed one month before I was born. His plane was Avro Lancaster ED347 on which he was the Navigator. I grew up knowing little about him or my paternal family, but after the death of my mother and with the advent of Broadband I have been able to discover what sort of man he was. I feel deeply proud of him and all the young men of Bomber Command. What I have been hoping for is that I may discover someone whose family might have known F/O Lynes or known of him. If such person is out there I would very much like to hear from them.
