Born 7th May 1912. During World War Two, Frank Carey scored 25 enemy aircraft destroyed, one of the highest Allied fighter pilot totals. He joined the RAF aged just 15, in 1927, joining No.43 Sqn as a pilot in 1935. After the German invasion of France, he was posted to No.3 Hurricane Sqn in Merville, adding to his total. On one occasion, he downed a Do17, but his aircraft was hit and set alight by gunfire from the rear gunner of the Dornier as he was following it down, forcing him to land between the Allied and enemy lines but he managed to get to Britain. During the Battle of Britain, Carey was shot down during an attack on a large formation of German aircraft, spending some time in hospital. In November 1941 he was posted to the far east with No.135 Sqn, and subsequently joined No.73 Sqn OTU in Egypt in November 1944. Frank Carey died 6th December 2004.
