F/Lt. F. A. Wells DFC

Royal Air Force 44 (Rhodesia) Sqdn.

I am trying to find additional information about my late uncle, F/Lt. F.A. Wells DFC, 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron, Dunholm Lodge. He was shot down on 25th/26th July 1944 over Stuttgart. He escaped and survived the war and was a member of the Caterpillar Club.

How did the DFC citation read? What RAF duties did he perform on his return home? He was a Squadron Adjutant, but at which RAF station? The full crew of his Lancaster were:

  • F/O T.Ibbotson RAAF
  • Sgt. J.R.W.Worrall
  • F/Sgt. E.H.Greatz RAAF
  • F/Sgt.I.R.Murray RAAF
  • Sgt. K.G.Andrews
  • F/Sgt T.W.Whitehead
  • F/Sgt. F.A.Wells
