F/Sgt. James Thomas Frederick Johnson
Royal Australian Air Force 466 Squadron
from:Bardwell Park, NSW
Jim Johnson joined the Royal Australian Air Force to fight for King and Country. He thought he would like to fly. As he was newly married he told his family he could earn enough money to buy a house when the war was over.
There were four boys in the family, three entering the armed forces and the fourth son was too young. One of his brothers went into the army and the other also went into the air force.
The war stayed with him all of his life. The older he got the more he was affected by the experience of bomber command and the loss of young life.
