William Edward Goodman

Royal Air Force

from:Manchester

William Goodman was sent to Stalagluft 3 eventually with some of the other members of the crew. He was prisoner along with W/O J.B.Arnold DFM, W/O J.B.Arnold DFM POW No.483. DFM Gazetted 17Apr42, with Sgt W.E.Goodman, POW No.503, and WO2 C.F.Henigman, POW No.506. and F/L E.J.Earngey.

I have his full account of the time when he was in Stalag 3 and later in Stalag 357 as well as his training and his de-mob. He used to have a book of photographs taken in one of the camps but that seems to have disappeared - he may have donated it to one of the many groups to which he belonged - ex-POWs or RAFA or the Air Crew Association, perhaps, but I have got a copy of a book of cartoons that was produced from the drawings of some of the prisoners at that time. Sadly he died in 2002 in Manchester after a career in the Manchester City Police rising to the rank of Superintendant.
