Personal Details:Service Details: Mr Atkinson left New Zealand on the ship Mariposa on the 17th of December 1941 for Canada. He gained his Wings there according to the Waikato Independent issue dated 19th of April 1943, when he passed out as a Sergeant-Pilot.
No further information is known at this time. If you can assist in establishing more about this airman's identity and career I'd ery much appreciate it.
Connection with Cambridge: He appears to have been from Cambridge before joining the RNZAF as his progress was reported in the local newspaper, and in the Waikato Times where it was stated he was from Cambridge.
Note: This chap may have been Flight Lieutentant George Edwin Atkinson who was on the 1945 Officers List. He was listed there as an Air Gunner, so may not be the same man. Thanks to Arthur "Digger" Arculus for this information.
