192197 Flight Lieutentant John "Jack" O'Leary D.F.C. A.F.C.RAF 106 Squadron from:9, Glendower Rd Liverpool My late father John O'Leary flew with 106 squadron from Oct 1943 till June 1944. I am still in posession of his log books covering all the missions he flew. There are names in the logs that I heard mentioned when I was very young. Names like F/O Harvey, P/O Perry, P/O Starkey and P/O Miffin. Sadley my father died from a heart attack when I was only 15 years old (now 63). and I never got to find out what part these people played in my parents life. I say parents because my Mother Winifred Boddy and her sister Mary Boddy, as they were then know were attached to 106 Sqd.
Why do we always leave it till late in life to wonder about our parents or is it just me.
I would be interested if anyone knew my father and can shed some light on his wartime activities
