Tribute page: WW2 SAAF pilot Chad Paterson
Hi and welcome to this site!
Thanks to Seymour Paterson who kindly brought to me and allowed me to scan his father's war photographs and flying log books.
This is a living web site. Any input and/or participation will be much appreciated regarding additional information, correctness, information from relatives of members who served with Chad, photographs, stories etc. Please e-mail me.
If you perhaps have a family member who served as a SAAF fighter pilot during WW2 and you would want to find out more about his war service please contact me, hopefully I can be of some help.
