Sqd.Ldr. R. V. "Tex" Lyon DFC
Royal Air Force 241 Squadron

I was told by my late mother that Captain Lyon was my father. He was a captain and squadron leader in the 241 Squadron Royal Air Force Squadron. He was awarded the DFC medal in 1944. His nickname was Tex, as he was living in the USA before enlisting, although he was English. I'm now 72 years old and have always needed to have more information. I only learnt about his existence when I was 30 yrs old but was forbidden to ask any questions and never to discuss the subject again by my stepfather. Please can anyone help?
