Elido Edoardo Perini

Perini, from Taber, flew as a tail gunner in Halifax and Lancaster bombers. On Nov. 2, 1944, on his 13th tour, Perini’s plane was shot down over HagenVorhalle, Germany and he was taken as a PoW for approximately seven months. During his captivity, Elido was interrogated by Hermann Goering, to whom he gave only his name, rank and serial number.
