Re: Seeking info on P/O Roi Leonard Saunders KIA May 22nd 1940
Different men or possibly the same man but different periods of service.
AIR 78 is an index to service records of Other Ranks/NCO not Warrant/Commissioned Officers.
Other Ranks/NCO had service numbers allocated in a different manner and numeric sequence to those of Warrant/Commissioned Officers.
When an OR/NCO was Commissioned they would be issued with a new personal number in the Commissioned numeric series.
For Gradation dates and Branch/Service for any Commissioned Officer you need the entry from The London Gazette or the repeat in periodic Air Force List or Flight.
