Excerpt: Korean WarAden Emergency Cyril Stanley 'Bam' Bamberger DFC* AE* was a Royal Air Force ace who fought in the Battle of Britain and the defence of Malta and also during the Korean War. Bamberger was born in Hyde, Cheshire, and educated locally. He left school in 1934, aged 14, and joined Lever Brothers as an electrical apprentice. In 1936 he volunteered for the Auxiliary Air Force and was posted to the bomber squadron, No. 610 (County of Chester) Squadron AuxAF, as a photographer. Bamberger was accepted for pilot training with the RAFVR in 1938 (Service No 810024). Bamberger was called to full time service on the outbreak of war, completed his training and rejoined his former squadron, now with Spitfires, at RAF Biggin Hill on July 27, 1940, as a Sergeant Pilot. Bamberger flew with 610 Sqn during the early air fighting over the Channel that followed the Dunkirk evacuation. The squadron suffered heavy casualties but Bamberger was credited with a "probable" Messerschmitt Me109 on August 28 in combat off the Kent coast. When 610 Sqn was withdrawn to rest in mid-September 1940, Bamberger was posted to No. 41 Squadron RAF at Hornchurch and was soon back in action in the Battle of Britain. He was credited with his first confirmed combat victory, again an Me109, over Canterbury on October 5. With the Battle of Britain winding down, Bamberger volunteered for Malta. He flew Hurricanes with No. 261 Squadron RAF from Hal Far from late November 1940 and was credited with shooting down two Junkers Ju 87 aircraft over the Grand Harbour in January 1941...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19942294
