Sgt. John Alfred White
Royal Air Force 420 Squadron
from:Rugby
My Dad, Jack White joined the RAF a day after his 18th birthday and started training as a Flight Engineer on July 22nd 1943. He was based at Regent's Park and Lord's Cricket Ground for initial training. He then transferred to 61 Base for flight training. He joined 420 "Snowy Owl" Squadron on 19th November 1944 at the age of 19, and flew Handley Page Halifaxes.
I am still trying to find out more about his time in the RAF and would love to see if anyone has photos.
