does anyone have or have access to the following books? if so would you mind looking to see whether Pilot Officer 123055 Frank Samuel Day is mentioned in either or both? I have reason to think he is. i know his parents, date of death, what happened, burial place etc but wonder if there is any other interesting info. Wynn, Kenneth G - Men of the Battle of Britain 1989 Morris, Henry & Sugarman, Martin - We will remember them 1989 both have studies of Jewish pilots. Frank's father was born Deitchman many thanks
Only match I can find in We will remember them, is Flying Officer, F.Samuel -4.43 missing presumed killed on air operations.

Good evening. Frank Samuel Day , 123055 Sgt. Observer British 248 Squadron. Day, of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, was with 248 in early July 1940. Commissioned in May 1942, he was killed on July 24, aged 28 and serving with 86 Squadron, a general reconnaissance unit. Day is buried in St.Illogan, Cornwall. At some time he underwent plastic surgery at East Grinstead and was a Guinea Pig. (PO 4.5.42.) This is what K.Wynn's Men of The Battle of Britain holds on him. Hope this is helpful. js
