About Me My name is Dennis Burke. I am originally from Cloonacool in County Sligo in the west of Ireland. I studied Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Limerick from 1996. Following this I took up employment in Dublin in the aircraft maintenance industry as a technical support engineer. At the time of writing this, I am an EASA Part 21 Compliance Verification Engineer in the Cabin Interiors field. During the past few years I have become heavily involved with learning more about the men who crewed the aircraft discussed in these pages with an idea of creating a lasting online memorial to their war time deeds for their respective countries. So many of them lost their lives at such an early age I felt that it is only right to remember them, no matter the flag under which they fought.


A big thank you to Emer my wife who created this new look website for me in 2011. And to our little crew Joe, Agnes and Cillian who are preventing me from doing as much research as I used to but I'm sure the airmen wouldn't have minded that.

And in special memory of my father and brother, Joseph and Noel Burke, gone but not forgotten.
