OldGunner 2/11/2018 4:08:12 PM	I found a copy of a loose leaf folder with a copy of what looks like a draft copy of Brig. Gen H W Bowman and Vic Maslen book listing the 401st casualties. If any member would like this copy would you please advise and I will be happy to mail it. The book was found at Sywell Airdrome in a box containing Tiger Moth spares which I had purchased for my Moth re build.

I'm sure the 401st Historian would like to connect with you about what you found and if the 401st Association would like a copy (and cool story how you found it). Have you tried contacting Historian Donald A. Byers via this Website or ? If you have trouble contacting him, let me know and I'd be glad to try and help connect you with him. I know Vic Maslen transcribed all-4 Squadron histories from official microfilm, as well as some other 401st records, but I didn't know about this one (but Don probably does). BTW, in '99, Paul Knight took me up for a Deenethorpe overflight - amazing. Did you know Paul? Good luck on your Moth re-build, Win
