Hi Folks
Hopefully this is not in the wrong place, I am trying to find details of my wife's Uncle F/O William "Bill" Appleton who flew Spitfires in the war. He transferred to Australia and became the first British member of the "roo" club, parachuting from a Beaufighter in May 1944.
Edit: I now know he was in 41 Squadron from 19 September 1941 until about 27 May 1942
I would like to build both a Spitfire and the Beaufighter to honor him, I have found details of the Beaufighter including serials and Squadron, but have not been able to find a good starting point for his records to locate the Spitfire details.
Can any one point me in the right direction please?
this has become more important as my darling wife is building a family tree and we have no details of Bill.
Thanks in advance.
Stewart
