F/O. Frank Davis

Royal Air Force 10 Squadron

(d.8th May 1942)

My uncle, Frank Davis, was Mentioned in Dispatches for his part in the Dunkirk evacuation, when he was in the Royal Navy Reserve. He then joined the RAF as a wireless operator/air gunner and was killed on 8th May 1942 when his No.10 Squadron Halifax was shot down over Lubeck.

When I visited his grave at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Berlin, I counted 59 other graves of Bomber Command aircrew killed on that same night. At the beginning of the war, he co-produced a review with Terence Rattigan.

My father, Wg Cdr Emanuel Bowman and myself also served in Bomber Command.
