Wing Cdr. Donald C. Smith DSO DFC.
Royal Air Force 76 Squadron
I have a flask that was presented to Wing Commander D.C. Smith of 76 Squadron from the crew; Frank Hart, Steve Palmer, Ron Kirkwood, Pete Harris, Red Thompson, Geoff Cranswick.
The flask lists the following missions:
26.1.43 Lille,
11.3.43 Stuttgart,
12.3.43 Essen,
26.3.43 Berlin,
27.3.43 Berlin,
3.4.43 Essen,
4.4.43 Kiel,
20.4.43 Stettin,
12.5.43 Duisburg,
13.5.43 Bochum,
11.6.43 Dusseldorf,
12.6.43, Bochum,
12.7.43 Aachen,
15.7.43 Montbeliard,
13.8.43 Milan,
16.9.43 Kassel,
11.11.43, Cannes,
18.11.43 Mannheim.
This site has a posting from his nephew seeking information about the same missions, I have attempted to contact him via E-mail but not sure if the email has reached him. Any information on both the wing commander or the men who served under him will help me put some life to the flask
Additionally if anyone can put me in touch with his nephew it would be most appreciated.
