William Edward Desborough
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 431 Sqdn.
(d.29th July 1944)
I am looking for family, friends etc of Sgt William Edward Desborough. He served as a Flight Engineer with 431 Iroquois squadron (RCAF) but like most flight engineers, he was with the RAF.
He was lost on 29th July 1944 along with his crew in an operation against Hamburg. A family member of mine was also a crew member and I host a website in their tribute at http://www.computan.on.ca/~flyguy/
Please contact me if you know anything about this individual.
