You're Top Poster: #3 | That 211 is one of the best detail I have seen. Navigates easily.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #1  | The site is an excellent example for others to use - and the webmaster has worked very hard on his research. I always enjoy visiting the site.

You're Top Poster: #2 | He has a go at a few books in his "sources" link for getting losses wrong etc. An authority on 211 if ever there was one!

You're Top Poster: #1 | He must have spent a furtune because quite a lot of those books are very difficult to get hold of (I've looked  )

You're Top Poster: #4 | This one seems to cover quite a lot. To access some info you need to register with the site, but it seems to be quite informative. http://www.rafweb.org/index.htm
