This Day In History

Summary of Events for  No. 439 (CAN) Squadron 

as recorded in the  439 Squadron Operations Record Book

for

26 June 1944

 R.A.F. Hurn

It rained practically all day which prevented us from giving the Allied Forces in France a little support much as the pilots were raring to go. The "C" Echelon moved off this morning and took away our  remaining office and other disposable equipment. All we are now waiting is the word to move the Airlift Party to France. The long awaited word was received in the afternoon which will whisk us off to the land of Normandy. The day has now come for our eager groundcrew who will have the opportunity of doing what they had anxiously awaited since enlisting in the R.C.A.F. To say the least they are about the keenest and most efficient types that I have met in the service.

Webmaster's Notes:

(1)  The 541 Form for the month of June 1944 is extremely illegible, and difficult to read, and may entail a trip to Ottawa to get a better copy out of the Directorate of History. Hopefully theirs will more legible.

In the meantime, illegible text is indicated by a series of  question " ? " marks.
