RAF COLLEGE CRANWELL “WW2 Roll of Honour”

Volume 1 - Graduates of Flight Cadet Training [Statistics believed correct at the time of issue]

Version 1.1 IBM Steward 6GE dated 4 November 2020 Context

The was formed on 1 April 1918, from the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Our founder, MRAF Viscount Trenchard, possessed the vision that extended beyond the formation of a strategic independent air force, the first of its kind, to include the creation of the requisite support infrastructure, including Officer training at RAF Cranwell, Apprenticeship training at RAF Halton and the RAF Staff College at Andover.

Implementing his vision, the RAF assumed responsibility for Officer training at Cranwell from the Royal Navy on 1 November 1919. On 5 February 1920, the RAF College was ‘open for business’ assembling its first officer training course, “F20”, from a cohort of Army and Navy ‘would be’ pilots. For the next two decades, all Entries would be referenced by month and year of entry, “MYY”, with two courses initiated each year, usually in January and September, and each officer training course lasting a period of two years.

By the outbreak of the Second World War, some 964 UK Flight Cadets had entered the RAF College on 36 Entries. Another 134 cadets from the next six Entries, however, had their training abruptly terminated, the College being closed for officer training as soon as war was declared. Some of these, like AH Humphrey (later MRAF Sir Andrew Humphrey), were enlisted as airmen u/t pilots to complete their flying training at the Service Flying Training School (SFTS) set up on the same eventful day at RAF Cranwell. Of the earlier graduates, many had already retired, withdrawn, died or been killed in the inevitable flying accidents of those pioneering days of flight. So, by 3 September 1939, there remained a total of 793 former Flight Cadets in the RAF, ready to serve their country.

This booklet, one of two volumes, attempts to capture names of and pay full tribute to Cranwellian Flight Cadets, confirming, where possible, the Commands and Squadrons with whom they were flying when they lost their lives; Volume 2 attempts to capture the names of airmen of the war intakes, trained by the SFTS Cranwell, who subsequently lost their lives. In some instances, we have been able to identify specific circumstances of their loss, including aircraft type and serial number, operation and location.

The output is a series of graphics and tables to record a definitive Cranwellian Roll of Honour. Its creation is the result of correlating College records with a selection of acknowledged databases and reference manuals, such as the “Forces War Records” military database, the RAF Commands Database Air81, the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) database, WR Chorley’s RAF Bomber Command Losses Volume 9, David Gunby’s & Pelham Temple’s Bomber Losses in the Middle East & Mediterranean, Norman LR Frank’s Fighter Command Losses Volumes 1 to 3, Kenneth G Wynn’s Men of the Battle of Britain, and Francis K Mason’s Battle over Britain. A visit to the National Records at Kew is also planned, post the Coronavirus pandemic. Where pro temps there remains doubt, this booklet denotes some information in italics, pending further verification.

Thus, starting with the College’s own records as a baseline and verifying them against the ‘acknowledged’ databases and manuals, the premise has been to detail all recorded Cranwellians and their ultimate commitment, subject to verification - “lest we forget”.
