Sgt. Kenneth John Cooper
Royal Air Force No. 106 Squadron
from:West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire
(d.1st Aug 1942)
Kenneth Cooper was a navigator/observer with 106 Squadron. The pilot was W/O P.E. Merrals, and they were flying Lancaster R5604. They were shot down after bombing Dusseldorf, where they dropped the first 8,000 pound bomb carried by a Lancaster. We think the plane came down at Lubeck, and the entire aircrew was killed. He now rests in the Rheinberg War Cemetery.
