Re: Did pilots fly on time differences in Europe??

Hi,
Time zones and map coordinate systems are the worst of bad nightmares for any researcher of WW II. It is my understanding that the UK used double daylight saving time i.e. UK reports in the ETO would be in GMT+2. To day NATO and some US forces deployed use GMT in all orders and reporting ( and even for meal hours

) just to avoid confusion.
