My second cousin Michael Wainwright flew as aircrew (I believe a navigator) in WW2. He was trained in Canada and then flew operationally from UK. My interest up until now has been WW1 research, I have no idea how to research WW2 men. Advice would be appreciated. I have one crumpled picture of him in uniform and the medallion attached below. Can anyone tell me what 9 AOS School was, presumably 9th --School? Thanks. John.
9 AOS, This may have been No. 9 Air Observers School, at R.A.F. Penrhos, Caernaervonshire, Wales. Good luck with your search johng
