Following up on an earlier post (Aug 2005) regarding Capt.Dimmer VC. who
was for a while attached to 47 Sqd. RFC. in Salonica.
It appears that he was acting as a observer/gunner (Be2c) when his pilot
2 Lt. Leon Eugene Eemon shot down an enemy aircraft on 06.10.1916.

Can anyone give any info. on this pilot ?

All info. appreciated.

Cheers,
Alan.

Hello Alan Peacock, Do you have a location for this victory claim, or type of enemy aircraft, on the Macedonian Front??? Best regards, agblume

Agblume,
Thanks for your reply. The info. I have regarding the
combat claim is as follows :

" One enemy scout biplane at 10.40 Hours over
Kilo 89 between Gengeli & Hudovo while flying
Be2c No. 5428."

This info. was given to me by forum member Frank Olynyk.

Cheers,
Alan.
