The Society was sorry to have to announce the sad loss of fellow researcher and historian Martin Johnson, who passed away suddenly in March 2014, aged 51. All of us at the Society offered our heartfelt condolences to all Martins family and friends at this sad time.

Martin during one of his many high ground investigations, seen right in May 1999 with main undercarriage from B-24H 42-9841. 492nd Bomb Group.

During his lifetime Martin built up a large collection of artifacts from the many sites he visited over many decades, building a substantial data base and photographic record, centered mainly around high ground wrecks in the Peak District. The Aircrew Remembrance Society is honored to preserve this collection in Martins memory. Martin was a dedicated researcher who will also be remembered on the pages to those his life time’s work remembers, not only on our present day pages, but also along with all our work, recorded by The British Library for all future generations to come. We would like to thank Martin’s long-time friend John Melton for his help in our preservation of Martin’s material, and his support for the family.
