Was reading the article in the New York Times about the Princess Margaret affair. It mentioned her suitor: Group Captain Townsend, RAF war hero'. Was he a spitfire pilot? What squadron did he fly with and what were his awards/achievements and didn't he have a son who was a rock star or am I confusing one Townsend with another? Mike IPMS
He was CO of 85 Squadron RAF during the Battle of Britian, flying Hurricanes. As far as I know he was not related to the veteran "The Who" Plank Spanker of the same name...

This site is OUTSTANDING but is their an equivalent one for USAAF bombers in Europe. Specifically, I am looking for all detail available concerning the Ryuken heavy water plant raid (i. e. squadrons/groups participating, individual aircraft/crews, losses, combat reports, bomb loads, everything I can get).
