Re: Combat Report Help - 214 Sqn RAF - Feb 1943

The information is from the two files Frank mentioned, 540 and 541 reports. You can download them for free (at the moment). You need a sign-on to the archives (also free).

Starting from this page, scroll down toward the bottom:
https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/...oks-1939-1945/

Enter 214 for the Squadron and 1943 for the start and end dates.

That should get you 28 records.

The two files Frank mentioned would each be for February, 1943.

540 reports are the "Summary of Events" and the 541 reports are "Records of Events".


I did not look at the first few files listed (Appendices Y........) which seem to contain photos among other things. I wonder if their "attempted photo" is in the file. There may be some other things of interest in them also.
