Sgt. Joseph Benedict Brophy
Royal Canadian Air Force
Joseph Benedict Brophy was a RCAF Sergeant Air Observer 'Special'. He was at Linton-on-Ouse with SQH Linton from 3rd March to 16th June 1943. Previous to that he was at Castletown and had crashed on the 2nd/3rd of March 1943 as the aircraft overshot the runway.
He was shot down at least twice, the earlier time crashing into the sea. I am writing a biography about my dad and I'd like to find out more about these crashes, the other survivors and the circumstances surrounding the recoveries.
