Nick,
There is a publication much the same as RAF Bomber Command Losses :- "RAF Coastal Command Losses Vol 1. 1939 - 1941" by R. McNeill. Midland Counties Publications. ISBN 85780 128 8 I believe Vol 2 is due out soon. Could I ask, What your interest is in Coastal Command and the dates of your interest? Regards Peter. |

Re: Coastal Command war diaries
Not exactly what you are asking for
Canadian Squadrons in Coastal Command Andrew Hendrie ISBN 1-55125-038-1 This comprehensive study covers every success achieved by Canadian squadrons listed in Coastal Command's records for WWII- including attacks on U-Boats. Each operation is reported in meticulous detail, from the time of departure, current weather, hours flown and crew involved, to a description of the action itself. |

Re: Coastal Command war diaries
Hi Nick,
Maybe these two books can be of interest: The Cinderella Service: RAF Coastal Command 1939-1945 byAndrew Hendrie. Synopsis Reveals the vital contribution that RAF Coastal Command made to the Allies war effort. This work looks at every aspect of the command's work, equipment and aircraft and draws upon many first-hand accounts. The lengthy and comprehensive appendices cover: Orders of Battle, Commanders, U boats sunk, ships sunk, aircraft losses and casualties. A Forgotten Offensive: Royal Air Force Coastal Command's Anti-shipping Campaign, 1940-45 by Christina J.M. Goulter I found them on Amazon. They are on my wish-list but so are many other books at the moment. Cheers Peter |
