[Observer1940]

I have been looking at some 1940 to early 1941 Accident Cards and anything I can find in relation to accident reports and publications, for RAF aircraft descending out of cloud and striking the ground or hill, or descending into the ground or hill.

The attached report appears to have a reference to turbulence in the clouds, which must have been a problem for flyers in 1940, but there is little reference to turbulence elsewhere in A.M. and other files.

Surely the RAF were aware of the affects of turbulence on aircraft in 1940? Anyone else come across any 1940 references to turbulence?

Thanks
Mark
