Thank you kindly Nina ☺️

Dear story and brain, could you please stop waking me up at 3AM with dynamite ideas given to me in dreams you wish I would keep because you can't give me them while I'm awake. And new stories at that. LET ME FINISH THEM FIRST.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

List of Royal Air Force aircraft squadrons - Wikipedia

I use this Wikipedia article - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... - to "form" my WWII squadrons, so I hope it may be of use to you Melissa 😊

Ah 😊

I usually place my Lanc crews in No. 5 (Bomber) Group or No. 8 (Pathfinder) Group

Do you have any thoughts on which squadron and group he would serve in and his crew Melissa? 🙂

Awesome!!! 😁

And were they part of a Halifax, Lancaster or Stirling crew?

#Writetip: Not everyone is going to be cheering you on. That’s just a fact. The trick is to stop letting them weigh you down. Don’t let them take up space in your life or throw you off your path. Focus on writing and doing the best you can… for YOU.
