    Hello

    I’ve lifted a little info about Victor Emanuel Tucker care of a forum to be found on http://www.rafcommands.com . . . “”"Sgt. Victor Tucker, from Jamaica, crashed in the Channel off Octeville-sur-Mer, 04-05-1942, North of Le Havre, shot down by Fw.190’s. The Spitfires were escorting Bostons to Le Havre, and aborted the escort shortly before the bombing run. By order they flew a left turn, to which the pilots had protested, as this enabled the Germans to attack from the sun. Vic Tucker was one of several who went MIA this way, that area, that time, and in the months after that as well.”"”

    PS Please keep up Cy’s good work. this website and the info therein is so important.

    Kind regards,
    A.E. Smith
