210265 Cpl. Leslie Arthur MID Royal Air Force 260 Squadron from:London My Dad, Leslie Arthur was an armourer with the 260 from 1939 - 1946. He joined before the war, his brother (or step brother) was a sergeant pilot. I have his very detailed diary & photograph album, including German ones he found in a bunker. Elsewhere we have all the letters he sent back to my Mother. I know that when on convoy they were pushed up North into ice because of the Bismark being sunk. In the desert the pilots trained on Meshermitts & my Dad flew in JU 52's. In Scilly a whole squadron of Italians went over to the allies and began attacking. Whilst he was in Italy an Italian family looked after him. He boxed against an Black American in Italy. He invented a way of putting more bombs on Kitty Hawks. He used to get flown in, just after an airport was cleared with an advance party to give the Hurricanes, Kitty Hawks and Mustangs a wider range.
