John Cave
Royal New Zealand Air Force
I saw the story about John Sparrow and the book written in a Stalag. Perhaps I've got some information about this John Sparrow who served in the Royal Air Force in WW2.
The grandfather and the mother of my brother-in-law were resistance fighters during WW2. The grandfather was arrested by the Gestapo for that and he died in a camp in Germany. I've got a testimony about some actions like hiding the Royal Air Force aviators and helping them to leave France. At the end of the testimony it says, "I know that the aviators were hosted some days by Madam Duboisin in her parent's house who lived in Vireux-Wallerand."
The first pilot was Sergeant John Cave NZ 42321 RAF Stn Mildenhall in Suffolk I suppose and the second one was Sergeant John Sparrow 1396137 RAF Station Mildenhall in Suffolk.
