Sergeant Lewis Segaloff was an English airman of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve who died during the Second World War.
He was born at Kings Norton, the son of Russian-born parents Jacob, a tailor at the time of the 1911 census, and Esther Segaloff (née Levine).
Segaloff, serving as a fitter mechanic and air gunner in 228 Squadron, died on 12 June 1944, aged 26, when his Short Sunderland (serial ML880) was lost while engaged on an anti-submarine patrol over the Bay of Biscay. It was later assumed that the aircraft had been shot down with the loss of its entire crew.[1]
The crew have no known grave and are commemorated by the Runnymede Memorial.
