209045 F/Lt. John Alexander Fernie Royal Air Force 75 Squadron from:Manchester After taking part in many missions and sustaining a small injury my Father, John Fernie was transferred to Western Canada towards the end of the war to train the Canadian pilots. The war ended and he immigrated to the US to enjoy great success as an artist up until his death in 2001. During many Sunday dinners at our home in Connecticut we were told stories by my Father and his visiting fellow RAF men many who ended up with BOAC. I have always felt very lucky to have heard first hand the stories of great bravery from members of the greatest generation. As a boy many of my summer vacations were traveling back to the UK and taking road trips to the old airfields. He is remembered and missed daily.
