I was actually a little disappointed in the book. The editor has copied the text of the ORB Form 540 (ie, he has not reproduced the image, but has typed the text), and the text of all the combat reports. But he has not copied the ORB Form 541 pages. So if one buys the book, you might concentrate on downloading the Form 541 pages from the NA/PRO.

Enjoy!

Frank.

I knew nationalarchives.gov.uk has announced that numbers of files (including RAF Combat Reports ) are available for download since couple of weeks ago

I thought you were indicating this book----The American Eagle Squadrons of the Royal Air Force can be download from nationalarchives.gov.uk.

a misunderstanding
