A total of nearly 129,000 airmen and airwomen are listed, with details including their unit, base, place of residence and cause of their death where known, including aircraft types and serial numbers. The casualties range from the newly recruited airmen who died while still in training to the Air Marshals; from the Battle of Britain fighter pilots to the two-tour veteran bomber crews; and all those who were killed in accidents while training. Personnel from the British, Australian, Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, Rhodesian and South African air and naval air services are listed together with those from the European Allied air services of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United States and Yugoslavia who served with the Royal Air Force. Also included are locally recruited airmen in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Introductory notes provide context to the individual records and the appendices include a detailed order of battle; casualty statistics by month, service, theatre and aircraft types; ship losses; service numbers; and places of burial or commemoration.Being fully searchable, on all the fields of information shown below, allows not only individual airmen to be found with ease, but makes statistical information regarding aircraft, ranks, commands etc. to be accessed from within the database a painless task.
