New website for RAF Aircraft Losses September 1939 to August 1940.

Website Update.

My website has been ‘live’ for a year now and happily for me has been favourably received. Unfortunately, I have no method installed to judge the level of traffic !

While the main work is complete, I am presently adding the personnel service numbers, as well as a certain amount of corrections and new material. I greatly appreciate the input of colleagues, visitors and even relatives of some of the airmen who have pointed out certain errors and supplied me with valuable new details and sources. The website continues to improve because of this assistance. I am certainly happy to receive copies of relevant primary material for the period that I do not have, including Flying Logbooks.

Regarding the service numbers. I have completed this work up to the end of January 1940 and am continuing with this project. It has proved to be somewhat slower and more tedious than I had hoped, but I would like to finish it before the end of this year.

I often make minor corrections and add some sources without making them full ‘Updates’ as that would, I believe, dilute the impact of the more substantial changes. I sometimes add service numbers as opportunities arise. If possible this year, I hope to add copies of two or three Flying Logbooks to the website but these will not be related to the first year of the air war. Also some miscellaneous material, again mostly not related to the period covered by the website, that might in time otherwise be lost if it is not made available for public viewing.

Thanking you all gain for your support and interest.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.

I have recently completed adding service numbers to the RAF and FAA personnel where these could be found. Any additions would be welcome. From here on there will be only occasional updates as new information comes to light. I also hope to add several sections which are not generally related to the first year of the air war, assuming I can manage to upload them due to my limited computer skills. Otherwise, some of this material might never be made accessible to other researchers and a wider audience.
