  • Flight Lieutenant JB Smith DFC 466 RAAF
    Flight Lieutenant J B Smith DFC 466 RAAF Squadron And 97 (Straits Settlements) Path Finder Force Squadron Peter Harvey 1 Forward Flight Lieutenant Smith DFC was the pilot / captain of my late uncle’s Lancaster, JB708 OF-J, 97 Path Finder Force (PFF) Squadron, which was shot down on the 11th May 1944 on a 5 Group bombing operation targeting the Lille railway infrastructure. F/L Smith was the Deputy Controller for this sortie and therefore the crew would have been one of the most experienced in the Squadron at that time. The crew were: • 414691 F/L JB Smith DFC RNZAF, Pilot • 537312 Sgt AR Rowlands RAFVR, Flight Engineer • 134059 F/O AR Weston RAFVR, Navigator • 138589 F/L LC Jones DFC RAFVR, Bomb Aimer • 174353 P/O DED Harvey DFM RAFVR, Wireless Operator • R/85522 W/O JR Chapman DFC RCAF, Upper Air Gunner • J/17360 F/O SG Sherman RCAF, Rear Air Gunner There are two websites dedicated to the crew: http://greynomad7.wix.com/a-97-sqn-pff-aircrew#!home/mainPage http://tribalgecko.wix.com/lancasterjb708#!jb708 The following data provides a short history of just one Bomber Command pilot and his crews. F/L Smith served with 466 RAAF Squadron at Leconfield in North Yorkshire, became a flying instructor after 29 operational flights and then volunteered to join 97 PFF Squadron stationed at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. He was a member of the Royal New Zealand Air Force and carried out his flying training in Canada. The data is taken from varying sources listed in the bibliography.

Once deprived of their Bf 109 escorts, the German bombers were acutely vulnerable to the predations of British Spitfires and Hurricanes. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com he story of the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) has been an abiding focus of military Thistorians since the end of World War II in 1945. It is not difficult to see why. Like many aspects of the German war machine, the Luftwaffe was a crowning achievement of the German rearmament programme. During the 1920s and early 1930s, the air force was a shadowy organization, operating furtively under the tight restrictions on military development imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Yet through foreign-based aircraft design agencies, civilian air transport and nationalistic gliding clubs, the seeds of a future air force were nevertheless kept alive and growing in Hitler’s new Germany, and would eventually emerge in the formation of the Luftwaffe itself in 1935. The nascent Luftwaffe thereafter grew rapidly, its ranks of both men and aircraft swelling under the ambition of its commander-in-chief, Hermann Göring.

  • Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries
    Introduction Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries Version: 01 April 2017. Introduction Terminology Bibliography By: Henry L. deZeng IV and Douglas G. Stankey I N T R O D U C T I O N This work is the sum total of many years of collecting data concerning the careers of some of the officers of the Luftwaffe during the Third Reich period. In a change in policy, we now include all commissioned officers known to have served in the Luftwaffe during the Third Reich period. Thus the 57,600 officers represented here are only a fraction of the approximately 120,000 officers and senior officials (Beamte) of officer rank that the Luftwaffe possessed over this period. Nor is the data complete. Due to the near total destruction of official records, we resorted to taking information from the microfilms of the few surviving records and from better quality books. An estimated 75% of the entries were taken from the thousands of wartime Luftwaffe personnel branch’s officer assignment and promotion orders that constitute a microfilmed collection of some 50,000 pages of documentation. Due to the fragmentary nature of our sources, there have been some unavoidable errors for data of those with similar or identical names. While every reasonable effort has been made to distinguish individuals, some comingling of data between them has taken place. Another related issue has been duplicate entries for a given person. These problems are insidious and are corrected as they are found. The level of detail per individual varies from near complete to only a trace reference.
