I am the first to ask for more info? I would like to encourage people to add more data to Classical entries. Thanks--Koril 13:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chipperfield / RAF

Somehow these entries look fishy:

Biographies list his full name as Richard Stewart Addinsell.

"flew as a navigator with 619 Squadron, R.A.F. Bomber Command"

RAF crews were in early 20ies not late 30ies.

[edit] Chipperfield, part 2

I think I found the source of the Chipperfield story

in Martin Middlebrook's book "The Nuremberg Raid" (1973) "serving .. as a navigator with 619 Squadron under his real name of FL Chipperfield"

Addinsell was 40 in 1944 totally impossible he served as RAF navigator.

I suspect an research error by Middlebrook. Beckus 19:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
