Nassau War Cem
2012-01-06
Thanks to the www.fcafa.wordpress.com website you can see not only all the gravestones of the six Cz airmen who met their death on Aug 7, 1943.
Serving with No 111 OTU, their B-25 twin-engine bomber No FV953 crashed a while after take-off, getting into a spin and crashing into ground about 4 kms from the town of Nassau. All hands lost. They were burried on the following day in the Military Cemetery near the Oakes Field station. HERE
You can see here also the names of the FV952´s crewmen who had perished on their training flight on Nov 23, 1943. Their Mitchell bomber was hit by the lightning and no one was washed ashore. These six ones are mentioned as in the Nassau War Cem as in the Ottawa Memorial HERE
