On the day that Geof Appleyard was reported missing 12 July 1943. Wing Commander P R May AFC DFC(US) was KIA, he was the OC of 296 Sqn RAF based in Algeria. I have found no record of where he is buried. I was hoping to find witness's in Sicily, who may have told the story of the parachute assault.

They used Albamarl bombers for thier sortie. It will have been a Secret Operation so it is possible that the records are not in the public domain.
