Dieppe & P-39's...
He flew both Spitfires and Hurricanes, was on the Dieppe raid.
Your Dad must have been one heck of a man, Ron. The Dieppe Raid was nothing to sneeze at. Too few Americans know about the gallantry and loss at Dieppe. They should make a movie about it like "Saving Private Ryan".
A lot of those P-39 Aircobras ended up in Russia on Lend-Lease. Not the most attractive plane.
My grandfather was in the 14th Air Force in the China-India-Burma (CBI) theatre.
Cheers, 
T.
