I only have a few pages of Theo’s logbook and a few documents to work with.
This one is most interesting.
At first we would think Theo flew a Mosquito on his first operation.
Wrong!
Theo was with RCAF 418 Squadron at Ford from March 23rd to July 31, 1943. This is a page from his logbook showing what Theo did on March 26.
March 26 Boston III No. S SELF SOLO ON TYPE
Theo soloed on a Douglas Boston III (American A-20 Havoc)
This is the next page of the logbook with his first mission.
APRIL 16 BOSTON III No. L SELF SGT IRVING 1 OPS. RENNES ONLY LITTLE FLAK
More on RCAF 418 Squadron here.
It’s as though we are really getting to know Theo. Watching his actions step by step.
Exactly. He has become a family member and Rich is telling him what goes on with the blog.
This is my reward just like Koji with his two veterans and Chatter Box with her veteran.
This is worth millions!
