41 Squadron Roll of Honour, September 1939-May 1945

Deaths on Active Service


The pilots and men listed on this page are members of 41 Squadron who died on active service either with 41 Squadron or in subsequent units, between September 1939 and May 1945. The squadron listed in the far right-hand column reflects the unit with which a man was serving at the time of his death. If an entry does not show '41', the implication is that the man had served with 41 Squadron in the past, but had since been posted to another squadron. The data on this page has been compiled by this site's creator and administrator, Steve Brew, and is constantly being expanded. As such, it is not considered a complete record. Your feedback, additions, and/or corrections to any of this data is most welcome.
