  • 1563. Morris, Jeff: my post-war Air Force experiences (March 12, 2015)

    Title:
    Morris, Jeff: my post-war Air Force experiences (March 12, 2015)
    Description:
    Rank: Colonel (Ret.). , An interview/narrative of Jeff Morris's experiences during the post-war years. Colonel (Ret.) Morris served with the Royal Air Force. Interview took place on March 12, 2015., ABSTRACT: Military Oral History Project Interview Summary Narrator: Col.(hon) Jeff Morris, 1943 – Title: Aviation’s Involvement and Evolution in Allied Success during the Second World War and Post War Interviewer: Mackenzie A Carr Extent 1 sound recording (MP3 file) 0:55:09 Interview Date and Location 12 March 2015, Victoria, BC Synopsis: Jeff Morris, born in Newcastle, England, Left at 15 to join RAF – received education in RAF, ordinary National degree. Joined at 15 as an apprentice airframe fitter – gives copy of advertisement that states hiring for RAF, a small cut out piece of paper to fill out with name and address. 3 years as airframe fitter, applied for aircrew after 2 ½ years – sent to Lab 1, island of North coast of Borneo and sent to Helicopter squadron crew - 2 days training, then sent on first mission to a scene of massacre. Helicopter was dependent on the crew holding the throttle, flew no more than an hour and a half. Flight engineer, three man crew, captain, flight crew and flight engineer (F/E) – technical representative on the airplane. Most aircraft in modern day does not have F/E due to cost and computer technology advancement. Experience with cultures within Borneo at Barrio school – shows picture of himself and headmaster and teacher – got along with the local cultures very well and their customs, cultural learning for Jeff. Weather was not too bad in Borneo – monsoons would make them land and wait it out, ITCZ would interfere, weather that moves north and south between the equator that creates thunderstorms up to 35,000ft, so had to go around them or were grounded. Wounds would take longer to heal due to the extreme heat. Had to rescue to a soldier who was shot in the wrist, most dangerous operation. Military and civilian roles, hearts and minds, transport and resupply troops and pull out casualties – fly the chief around, take women in labor to hospitals, protect villages from threat, if one wins the hearts and minds of the civilians then can win the trust – not what the Americans did in Vietnam. Little training with gunnery, given guns and grenades with no experience of training. 1973 left the RAF after a few years in Singapore. Got a job with Cathay Airlines and retired in 1996 and runs Angel Flights. Honorary Colonel for Helicopter squadron 443 in 2008 until 2014 holds rank but not the authority; goes through extensive process final stage being approved by the Prime Minister.

Synopsis: The Interview with Major Murray Edwards describes his involvement in training officers for the Second World War.

Major Edwards then arrives in Aldershot in Britain as he was about to join in battle he was chosen by (D) Group to be involved in a new experimental school. He states that the school was needed because the Canadians going to Britain were unprepared. The school was in Crookham the purpose of the school was that the Canadian soldiers would go to this school for five weeks and would go through a complete refresher of what they should know and then they would be graded weather they would be ready to join a battalion in Britain. He was then asked to attend a Officer Selection Center so he could obtain further information to be able to train soldiers, there he was quizzed on a series of questions and passed. Major Edwards was sent back to Canada to receive pre-OCTU training in Ontario as he passed this course and was asked to be an instructor he said yes because he was hoping to modernize the training and change it from the First World War techniques that were clearly not working in modern warfare. He had to go to Vernon B.C to attend the battle school for further training, on the train he ran into British Major John Macdonald who had shut down the Vernon School and replaced half of its staffs because it was not efficient. Major Macdonald asked Edwards to stay and work at the Vernon school he agreed. Major Edwards stayed there until close to the end of the Second World War. When discussing the Vernon Battle school Major Edwards will discus Canada’s focus on safety over reality and the need for battle inoculations and live firing when training.

    Title:
    Price, Reg: my Bomber Command experience (March 17, 2015)
    Description:
    An interview/narrative of Reg Price's experiences with Bomber Command during World War II. Interview took place on March 17, 2015., ABSTRACT: Military Oral History Project Interview Summary Narrator: Mr. Reg Price Title: My Bomber Command Experience Interviewer: Interviewed by Isobelle Carey Extent 1 sound recording (m4a) 42:46 file size (89.8MB) Interview Date and Location 17 March 2015, Victoria BC Synopsis: Mr. Price grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Ontario before joining the RCAF. His father was previously in the military during WWI in the Oxford Rifles and encouraged him to join the military however he was inclined to join the Air Force rather than the Army due to the opportunity to fly a plane. Living in Canada at the time would have given him limited opportunity to do this. He trained initially in Victoriaville, Quebec and this program consisted of mainly Canadians. Although he was aware of the dangers of flying in Bomber Command, this did not affect his decision. Before each operation the crews were not told where the target was until right before they took off, however they could approximately figure it out by using the amount of fuel provided. The targets were not over-difficult to find once the pathfinders had gone before his crew. The tracking mechanism that was used by their crew was easy to use however it was later known that it could also be used by the Germans to find their position. He flew in Halifax’s and Lancaster’s but there was not much difference between operations of these two. If bombs were not used during each operation they were dropped where they would do most good. Engine problems were infrequent but were dealt with by flying back to base. Mr. Price took part in the Nuremburg raid, however he feels that at the time he was unaware of how significant it was until a few years ago when he read about it. Because of the limited debriefing there was no significant effect on crew morale. During recreational time, he stayed with his crewmembers. After returning to Canada, he wanted to continue flying and the RAF was recruiting Canadian members. He then went back for a further four years training. A particular incident that stands out in his mind was a leaflet drop over France where they strayed off course and were shot at by AA gunners. His identity as a Canadian did not have a significant difference apart from on payday when his pay was different to the rest of his crewmembers. He did not witness or hear of any incidents with LMFs that he could recall. Due to a mix-up with the significance of certain operations, his tour of duty was 31 operations as opposed to the regular 30.
