The pilot of this plane, Clyde Liles, was my Daddy’s brother. I have gathered information for years and have quite a bit. I received over 100 pages from the National Archives. One thing I have not been able to pin down – he had just arrived at Snetterton Heath less than two weeks before he was killed. It seems like this might have been his one and only mission. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could either prove or disprove this?
