National Archives Kew, London

[Bruce Dennis]

Mike,
I am certain that there is no single group of files at Kew that mirrors the collection ‘A.I 12 USAFE/Air Ministry files’ in the US. However, as I am sure you know, there are hundreds of files held at Kew that report on different aspects of the defeated Luftwaffe, based on investigative work between 1944 and 1949. These are scattered, but most seem to be in AIR 2, 8, 10 and 40 as individual subjects. You can see a sample of these by searching ‘German’ in the online TNA catalogue and limiting the years to 1946 – 1949 and the series to AIR. I suspect that many of these files are also found in the US archives, and perhaps they are neatly grouped in ‘A.I 12 USAFE/Air Ministry files’.

Unless you can get an index of the A.I 12 USAFE/Air Ministry group, it will be difficult to know which TNA files are common to both archives.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
