Sgt. Frank Petts
Royal Air Force 9 Squadron
Frank Petts was my grandfather. His stories of Battle of the Heligoland Bight are well documented so I won't repeat myself here. Half of the Wellingtons on this mission were lost, my grandfather was able to get his home though. Corgi models have made a replica of his aircraft and there exists a painting depicting his return from this mission.
