WO1 William "Lucky" Price DFC.
Royal Air Force 405 Squadron
from:Glasgow
My brother Bill Price joined the RAF just before the outbreak of the war. He served initially as Ground Crew but applied for aircrew and joined the Desert Air Force as an Air Gunner, flying in U.S. made Baltimores. He flew 60 sorties across the desert and over Italy and was sent home to Glasgow on leave at the end of 1943. After leave, he joined 405 (Vancouver) Squadron in the Pathfinder Force and flew a further 28 sorties until being stood down in early 1945. On the very next sortie his crew were lost over Germany. Bill was awarded the DFC. He survived the war and now lives in Canada.
