Re: RAF and RAAF ORBs available on the Web
Nice sites
odd, why do most of these records, list the Allied pilots by just there last name, but then when known that a Nightfighter shot them down, will list the Germen pilot by his full name ? |

Re: RAF and RAAF ORBs available on the Web
This is not a squadron ORB, but it may be of interest. Bomber Command's 60th Anniversary web site has the campaign diary at the following site:
Royal Air Force Bomber Command 60th Anniversary Campaign Diary http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/ (select “Diary” from top menu) The site lists every operational sortie with the target; number of aircraft tasked and lost; and the results of the raids. Norma O'Toole in British Columbia, Canada |

Great work, Laurent!
Access to some of these ORBs will save me a considerable amount of time. Many thanks for your efforts. Cheers Brian |

Re: RAF and RAAF ORBs available on the Web

I didn't include the above link because it is not an original source, but a sort of copy of the book 'Bomber Command War Diaries' by Martin Middlebrook. Two comments: _ the text on the website is extracted from the above book (with the same sentences) but the part listing the number of civilian killed and so on is in 99% of the cases deleted. A politically correct approach ? _ the number of losses may be misleading, as it lists only the missing aircraft. Bomber that crashed in Allied held territory are usually not listed (except in the worst night), so losses were usually higher than what the book said If you're interested in Bomber Command, a very detailled site exists for 6 (Canadian) Group: http://www.rcaf.com/6group/Operations.html |

Re: RAF and RAAF ORBs available on the Web
Thanks Laurent for this splendid work.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to make the ORBs of all RAF squadrons (WWII) accessible on the net in the same way as they have done in Australia? Regards Peter |
