F/Sgt. Nelson John Rapere
Royal Air Force 35 Sqd.

(d.21st Jan 1944)
My mother was married to Nelson John Rapere, an RAF F/Sgt who died on the bombing run to Magdeberg. He along with three other crew members, were killed after their aircraft was intercepted by a night fighter. It was Halifax Mk.III HX324. Three other crew members became POW's and survived the war. Two went to Australia. I am searching for information about Nelson Rapere: photos, family members, anything. We only have the marriage certificate and his death announcement. I also am interested in any information about that fateful day. Thanks for any help you can give.
