F/O. Roy Albert Arthur Cannon
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 548 Squadron
(d.26th Feb 1945)
Roy Cannon was the son of Frederick Henry and May Cannon. A 23-year-old Spitfire pilot, Roy was to have married his Aussie sweetheart just four days after he perished in this crash. Also killed was Cannon's intended best man, RAF Flt-Lt T.J. Cook. The aircraft in which he was a passenger, and which was believed to have been flying one of its last missions, had six American and two Royal Air Force crew on board. They are buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC.
