Re: Bomber Command Target References

Steve

I have had a terrible job finding the TNA file reference I promised you and only found it from my sub-list of file references of interest, which referred to a view date, which then enabled me to locate it in my notebooks. I obviously missed my note twice!

If you have a query about the TNA Catalogue reference, my reference is 102/09.

My note as follows:-

"AIR 20/2060" "Directives to Bomber Command D of Ops Home" noted.

"Contains details of when bombing ops were [first] approved, targets, with target numbers, names and oil stored etc."
[Example noted] "Mentions Ambes, Pauilac"
[being Bordeaux targets 14/15th August 1940, Oil were Z target numbers].

My poor memory is unreliable, but leads me to think that all targets (other than oil) are also listed for this 1940 period?

Hope this helps, regards Mark
