Tribute Page: WW2 SAAF pilot Melvin Shepherd
Hi and welcome to this site!
I made contact with David Shepherd who is Melvin's Son. He kindly sent to me photographs and documents of his dad. Unfortunately Melvin's log book and other memorabilia were lost during a fire.
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 Melvin, 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.
