D. 4. Virtual Canadian War Memorial. You should be able to find Additional Information and Family Relationships on all of the Canadian RCAF members of the aircrew on the Virtual Canadian Memorial. http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/canadian-virtual-war-memorial The personal files of aircrew Killed In Action are archived and available for research in the Canadian Library and Archives, Ottawa. Found your uncle’s military records under Service Files of the Second World War - War Dead 1939 - 1947. Suggest you request a copy of everything on his personal file since it’s not very expensive. http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/second-world-war/second-world-war-dead-1939-1947/Pages/list.aspx?SurName=Ryan&GivenName=Donal+Thomas It’s more difficult to find information on aircrew surviving the war since access to their personal files is restricted. Sergeant Flight Engineer D Scott was Royal Air Force and the RAF is even more restrictive. Hope this helps . George R McKillop New Westminster, BC george_mck@shaw.ca
