This series has been of enduring interest over many years, and is still highly sought after. Apart from the obvious interest to aviation historians, many people researching family history find these books invaluable, as so many families had someone in an RAF bomber squadron, who failed to return from active service.

With the interest in family history increasing all the time and with many now seeking detailed information about wartime careers of relatives, the series will continue to be used by those seeking to find out more about fathers, grandfathers and other relatives who flew with, and died in the service of Bomber Command during World War 2.

Synopsis

This is the seventh volume in Midland's highly respected series detailing the losses suffered by the RAF's Bomber Command during, and in the case of this volume, in the years immediately after, the Second World War. The OTUs were the units in which aircrew got to grips with the heavy bombers they were to fly in combat. It is perhaps not surprising that the number of men who came to grief whilst training was very high. This volume, in common with the other books in the series, identifies the units involved in each incident as well as the aircraft and the individual members of the crew concerned. A brief description of the circumstances behind each loss is also given. In total, this book provides information on almost 2,400 losses. This is the penultimate volume in the the Bomber Command Losses series. An eighth book, is in preparation. This will be a role of honour, listing all the aircrew who perished in the service of Bomber Command during the conflict.
