Sqn. Ldr. Cyril Hassall DSO, DFC & bar.
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 142 Squadron
from:Derby
Squadron Leader Cyril Hassall, DSO, DFC and BAR flew Mosquitos in 1944 with 139 and 692 Squadrons. He then apparently served as a Navigation Flight Instructor before joining 142 Squadron on Mosquitos. He completed a total of 102 sorties, of which 67 were on Mosquitos.
Any picture of S/L Hassall, DSO, DFC and BAR is welcomed. It seems he started operations in August 1940, but I do not know in which Squadron.
Any information is most welcomed.
