DFC and DFM Recipients
I am looking for a two volume set of books, which detail all of the recipients of the DFC (Vol:1) and DFM (Vol:2).
All i know is that it was a private publication and the print run was limited to only about 100-200 copies per volume. The books were published sometime in the last 3-5 years and were quite expensive, approximately £125.00 a book! Is there anyone out there who has these books who would be kind enough to pass on the title, author and ISBN numbers. Thank you in advance.

Re: DFC and DFM Recipients
David,
If you need a list of all the gallantry awards to Commonwealth Air Forces during WW2, you could not do better than Honour the Air Forces by Michael Maton (Token Publishing). It is just list of awards and there are no recs or citations. I have both volumes of The DFM Register and it is well worth the money. As you are probably aware it contains copies of most of the recommendations for the DFM awarded during WW2. As far as I am aware the DFC book that quote does not contain the recs. Rgds Jonny |

Re: DFC and DFM Recipients
David,
These are actually two, two volume works. Thus four volumes in all. The DFC book has only the citations that appeared in the London Gazette. The DFM book has no citations (the few that appeared in the LG appeared in Tavender's earlier book listing all DFM awards) but instead has the recommendations for the DFM (from Air 2 I assume). I would suggest phoning Savannah Publishing and checking with the horse's mouth. If you follow the link in Amrit1's post above to the Savannah website, just below the initial book listing is a subject list. Follow Gallantry Awards and you will find both books listed. Frank.

Hi Gents,
Thank you all very much for your assistance. I will take Frank's advice and contact the company direct. I will also check out the site for the RAAF as well. Once again, thank you very much, David.
