    hi

    welcome to BG , apart from PTV sites , you can look up the national archives , or if you know what he did in the RAF , pilot , etc or what type of aircraft , or where he was based this can narrow it down , and then possible you will find a site about that particular group , quite often they will have more information for you .
    let us know more details ,if you are not sure ,

    Hello Hooch656,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    You may have come to us via Forces War Records, and if so this will tell you a bit about us.

    I would think that the first thing to do would be to obtain your father's service record (see simmo1's post), and then you can expand that with more precise searches re a particular squadron, place, etc.
