Lt. Joseph Alexander McDonald

Royal Canadian Air Force 433 Squadron

from:Prince Edward Island, Canada

My Father Joseph McDonald was from Prince Edward Island, Canada, off the potato farm. He signed up in 1941, went to Iceland for 6 mos and first served in Coastal Command. Later he was transferred to Bomber Command, at Skipton on Swale, and into a Halifax Bomber, as a wireless operator/air gunner (if a gunner got hit, he was to take over that gun.. but fortunately this never occurred. He was given credit for 6 Bomber missions, from his service in Iceland, so had 24 more to complete his 30. He did so, and interestingly, his plane, with the nose art "No-Nuttins" and a picture of a clown's head which was the one painted in the 433 Squadron book that Canada put out.
