The final volume in this monumental series, which records the grievous
losses suffered by the men of RAF Bomber Command in the European theatre
of operations during World War II, includes the master index of all who
gave their lives.
The eight previous volumes in this series, many of which have been
reprinted over the years, provides a comprehensive listing of all Bomber
Command aircraft losses between 1939 and 1947 in the European theatre of
operations, along with information about the fate of the aircrew on
board each individual aircraft. This final volume is in part an addendum
to all the previous volumes, but its main constituent is a master index
of about 55,000 entries the Roll of Honour bringing together all aircrew
mentioned in the previous volumes. The Roll of Honour provides for each
airman; their surname, rank, Christian name, service number, date
killed, squadron, the serial number of the aircraft involved, and the
page and volume number where the loss is recorded.
