I look for Harold P. O’Neill descendants because he was saved by my grand-father the 4-4-1943 near Rouen (France) after bombarding Renault factory in Paris. I want to transmit this story to my garndsons and granddaughters.
Thanks a lot

Dear Duval-Mouton Sylvie, I don’t have any information on Harold O’neill. I am trying to locate the location where his plane crashed and the location where crewmen Ahern and Hargadon were buried. Can you help?
