Some 30 or more bios may be found in my For Your Tomorrow - A record of New Zealanders who have died while serving with the RNZAF and Allied Air Services since 1915 (Volume Three: Biographies & Appendices). Vols One and Two now sold out but some of this volume still available. Errol |

Have just found this site. I am a daughter of Terence Patrick Ryan who you have mentioned and I also remember Neil Knox and Frank Winn being friends of our family as I was growing up. My father passed away on 12 January 1972. I may be able to assist you on these 3 men as Dad did a lot of his flying as the Navigator with Frank Winn.
Regards. Gail Laurence

Gail - Thanks for taking the time to get in touch. Any information you have on your father or Knox & Win would be great. I'm not sure if you have seen my blog at broodyswar.wordpress.com ? but I am trying to get as many aircrew biographies written as I can. To see the sort of thing I have already pulled together with the assistance of relatives, have a look at the main Biographies page at broodyswar.wordpress.com/488nz-squadron-research/488nz-squadron-aircrew/aircrew-biographies/I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Adam |
