Allan Gordon Brownell

Royal Canadian Air Force 428 (Ghost) Squadron

from:Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Born in the Canadian prairies in 1923, Allan Brownell enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in January 1942.

He was posted overseas in January 1943, and was a Navigator (Pilot Officer and Flying Officer) with 428 Ghost Squadron in 6 Group Bomber Command at Middleton-St. George in England. He flew 39 missions in Halifaxs and Lancasters, and with his pilot Sam Side, brought the crews home safely.

My dad rarely talked about his experiences during the war, but I know he had fond memories of the men with whom he served. One of my favorite photos was when he was in his late 80's and he got to go into one of the very few remaining Lancasters from WWII when it was flown to Edmonton, Alberta.
