                <text>93 items. The collection contains two oral history interviews with Jim Wright, letters, cuttings and photographs. It concerns James Roy Wright’s research into his father, Sergeant Arthur Charles Wright (1911 - 1943, 1149750 Royal Air Force) and an operation to Turin 12/13 July 1943 which caused 100 aircraft to violate Swiss airspace. Two aircraft were shot down or crashed in Switzerland. There are many photographs and details of the activities that night including reports by the Swiss authorities. The crews are identified with photographs and there are several photographs of the funerals at Vevey. Additional material includes aerial photograph of bomb damage in Germany and the logbook and airman's pay book of W G Anderson. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collection has been donated to the IBCC Digital Archive by Jim Wright and catalogued by Nigel Huckins, with descriptions of official Swiss documents provided Gilvray Williams. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information on Arthur Charles Wright is available via the &lt;a href="https://internationalbcc.co.uk/losses/126015/"&gt;IBCC Losses Database&lt;/a&gt;. This collection also contains items concerning Hugh Burke Bolger and his crew. Additional information on Hugh Burke Bolger is available via the &lt;a href="https://internationalbcc.co.uk/losses/102186/"&gt;IBCC Losses Database&lt;/a&gt;.</text>
