Airmen - Accidental Deaths
Airmen - Accidental Deaths
This community remembers those in the RFC, RNAS and RAF who died in training and air accidents. Around 8,000 men died in Britain during flight training due to accidents and mechanical failure - more than were killed from enemy action. I'll doubt I'll be able to identify all 8,000 plus but I hope this community will be enough to represent them all.
