A new friend of mine is looking for information.
This is in regards to Pearson, George Sholto Manning, who was a pilot, 197 Squadron RAF. I have attached a PDF of the email, because if I merely copied it here, I would lose all the formatting. You will see what I mean when you open the file.
Thanks to anyone who can assist.
