RAF in the United States WWII

[bevo]

Does  anyone know anything about RAF people being 'seconded' to the United States during WWII? Possibly through the Fleet Air Arm?

There could have been liaison officers in Washington  or at the Pentagon.

I think I recall Douglas Bader being over there as recounted in "Reach for the Sky"

Also I once worked with an RAF chap who had spent most of the war in Hawaii

Goodness, that was quick!

The fellow I'm interested in was a photographer, and would only have been a sergeant.

Quite a lot of flying training was done in the states during WW2.  I wonder if he was sent across to take photos of the graduates? Getting his service record would help a lot as it would tell you more about where he was stationed. Are you related to the gentleman you are researching!

Father-in-law was a RAF navigator, spent time in Canada in WW2, training others I think

If mother in law is still alive she can get his service record for nothing.

I'll see about getting his service record.

Just interested to know what they were doing there.

 RAF  technical experts    could have been over in the USA  to share or impart new scientific    developments  to the Americans.

Or to pass on the  lessons learned  from combat experience
