I'll bet you're right. I haven't taken the time to look at each
of the mission numbers shown for them; but, there was probably some
overlap - given their dates of service.
--
My Dad didn't talk a lot about Molesworth - and, when he did much of
what he said was humorous - not the war side of the tale. But, as a
kid I had the sense these men were at Molesworth a lot longer
than the dates of service shown. Obviously, even though the days
were relative few, the impact of the European war experience was
paramount.
As Tom Brokaw so eloquently dubbed them - The Greatest Generation.
What a crew they are/were !!
