The photograph above is of the "A Dog's Life" crew.  Bombardier Norman Cameron (mentioned above) did not board the aircraft for its ill-fated final flight.  When he discovered that the scheduled mission into Germany was cancelled and it was to be a training flight instead, Cameron was excused flight duty on sickness grounds.  The day after the death of his crew mates, Norman was removed from flying duties until February 18th 1945.

This page is a memorial and tribute to the nine brave crew-men (listed below) who gave their lives in the line of duty and in defence of the freedom that many of us now take for granted.

We are extremely grateful to Norman Cameron for providing this photograph and to Darin Scorza for contacting this website with additional information for this article.

We are also very grateful to Martin W. Bowman for his assistance and we strongly recommend his book, Fields of Little America, which gives a detailed account of the 2nd Air Division in East Anglia between 1942 and 1945.
