My grandfather was in the RFC but I believe he must have been transferred to the army when the RAF was formed. I visited TNA at Kew and looked for records of him but drew a blank. Lots of records of such people were destroyed in WWII. Where records do exist, it's quite likely that several other servicemen had exactly the same name and research can get seriously time-consuming. It's also pretty harrowing when you start wondering just how many of the names and numbers represent people who came back in one piece. So I'd suggest that if you go to the TNA you take a couple of other interesting subjects to investigate instead. And don't miss out on the cake. Good luck. |

I'd suggest you look at the Research Guide on the RFC/RAF on the site George has given to you. Depending on when he left, his records might be with the RAF - I think 1919 onwards.. |
