  • Photo of Cyril Armstrong Dean– Images from recent book written by George Dunn who flew in the 76 Squadron with Cyril Armstrong Dean, affectionally nicknamed "Dixie"... This was the first time we had ever heard this. I built the Dean family tree from photos Cyril's sister-in-law (married years after his death) who is a keeper of memories and memorabilia... She is now almost 91.
