F/Lt. Ian Campbell Dee Corlett

Royal Air Force 221 Squadron

Ian Corlett was my dear dad! I know he started by flying the Halifax before going on to Wellingtons, commencing as a rear gunner, moving to wireless operator then finishing his RAF career as Flight Lieutenant. I know he served in Malta and Egypt and the one of the Wellingtons he was in was shot down and written off. He contracted Pulmonary TB (Airman's Disease) and I still have a copy of his hilarious account (albeit somewhat harrowing) of the resulting thoracoplasty operation. He died of heart failure as a result of this many years later in 1996.
