Squadron of B-26 Marauder

[Nigel Brenton]

My Father (Deceased RIP) flew Marauders out of North Africa in WW11 but I can find no Squadron photos. He had one when I was a little bloke but we cannot find that photo anywhere. Can anyone help please???

It was either with 14 Sqn. from Aug '42 to Sept '44 or 39 Sqn. from Dec '44 to Oct '45. We'll start there

Do you know by chance which squadron he was in?

 

[GrauGeist]

The RAF Squadrons that operated Marauders out of Africa were:
No. 14 Squadron based in Egypt - operated Marauders from 1942 onward
No. 39 Squadron based in Egypt - operated Marauders from 1944 onward
No. 70 OTU Squadron based in Egypt - operated marauders from 1943 onward

Looks like 39 Sqn is your father's unit.
