He and two other crew members survived and he spent the remainder of the war in a German POW camp. The crew members who lost their lives are commemorated at the Bomber Command memorial in Lincoln. The Caterpillar Club was open to all aircrew whose lives had been saved by a parachute made of silk. It was run by Irvin Air Chutes of Great Britain, who made the parachutes. Date: 1940s
