Douglas Charles Fentiman . RAF 97 Squadron (d.30th July 1943) My uncle, Douglas Charles Fentiman, was in the RAF during WW2. I believe he flew for the 97 Squadron.
He was possibly in a Pathfinder role but I am not sure. He could have flown out of Bourn but again I don't know this. Would anyone have any information on him or remember him? He had only been married one year when he was killed on the 30th of July 1943.
