Hi All,
Added numerous images, including resizing of a lot of old ones - still plenty to resize. I edited a note in the "Personnel Download" page. There are 11 crews where the pilot did not complete a mission, example he may have failed to return from a 2nd dickey flight, therefore the remaining crew would be absorbed into other crews or reposted to another squadron.
Here is some negative thoughts on this site; I don't like the formatting specific to text and spacing, scrolling too much, can't center main image on any page once a thumbnail is clicked on, still a lot of images to resize. Would like to reformat entire site, and lastly I have a lot of images that still need to be added - too far behind :(

I am the brother of the late FLT r bannister DFC rear gunner of (crew) 68 434 squadron RCAF croft I recently found a portrait photograph of his pilot
F/O howard j Hawley DFC who as a young teenager I remember him well as he came to my home with my brother on a rest period...
thought it would be interesting to contact members of his family (if any) and send them a copy of his photograph along with my memories of him and
his recommendation for the DFC . however after hours of research I have been unable to find any evidence of his life on returning to Saskatchewan
or record of his family. I would be grateful if anyone could help.
