Lt HE Sheppard 14 Squadron RFC?
 

I have this pilot sharing a victory with Lt CR Davidson. Davidson was flying a Bristol FB19 but what was Sheppard flying?

best regards

Keith

Hi Keith

I have Lieut Harold Easton Sheppard also in a Vickers F.B.19 and from somewhere I have got the serial 5233. However, this serial belonged to an F.E.2b with No 18 Squadron, so I suspect it should be A5233; if that is the case, it seems to have migrated to No 111 Squadron since I have Davidson flying it in that unit on 4 October 1917.

Classic Graeme! :D

Another FB19 victory. Did Davidson take his scout to 111 Squadron I wonder?

I haven't posted onto the 55 Squadron raids because you will have the Rennles book and will not try and compete when I had a source you hadn't. I hope you find it as good a source as I did. I know when I am overmatched :D

I will also recommend the Wlliams's memoir. It is full of little details that inform the 55 Squadron history. The Morris IAF history is also very good.

Hi Keith

The Rennles book turned up early so I've been going through it over the last few days as time has permitted. I've highlighted a few anomalies but I'll post my thoughts when I've gone through the whole book.
