The process of entering the Squadron logs is nearing
completion with only a short period from April 1945 yet to be
entered.
In a lot of instances the Logs are difficult to read and contain
misleading, and sometimes incorrect data. The transcription process
will also be the cause of some errors.
A large "Data Cleansing" exercise is next on the agenda.
I am happy to hear from anyone regarding any corrections.
All details regarding aircraft losses have been
gleaned from Chorley's excellent reference books "Bomber Command
Losses of WWII".
All crew losses have been verified against the
Commonwealth War Graves site. The only exceptions being the losses
involving USAAF and Norwegian Airforce members.
Other details have been supplied from various
sources, with a major contributor being Alan Chambers.
