F/Lt. Donald Alexander Ross
Royal Canadian Air Force 424 Sqd.
from:Toronto, Ontario, Canada
(d.5th Mar 1945)
Donald Ross was the pilot of Lancaster NG458 during Operation Chemnitz on the night of the 5/6 March 1945. We think he was involved in a collision with another friendly aircraft. Two Parachutes were seen from the Lancaster, one airman, a S/Sgt was taken to Berlin and released after the war. The other we think was Don. He was taken to Frankenberg and held by Police but when being transferred to Berlin 5 "civilians" attacked the two police and kicked and beat this airman to death.
