Hi there everyone, I just started researching my great uncle George William Mayor who was an RCAF Air Gunner Squadron 424. It's incredible how much information can be found online! I struck a few brick walls though and am hoping I might find some information here to keep my research moving forward. Looking forward to it! Cheers, Kristine
