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 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.

This sixth volume in the highly respected series covers the final 1080 individual aircraft losses in the European Theatre of Operations, identifying units, aircraft, crews and the circumstances behind each loss, day-by-day.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.

This eighth volume in the highly respected series covers the HCUs, Lancaster Finishing Schools, Flights, Ferry Training Units, Station Flights and other miscellaneous units, identifying units, aircraft, crews and the circumstances behind each loss, day-by-day.
