You're Top Poster: #3   | Squadron history websites I've found some particularly good websites recently, particularly Kittyhawk-based RAAF units as I wrote a website review in the latest Flightpath magazine. Came across the 454/459 site after discussions elsewhere with Spidge about RAAF burials on Crete. Thought these might be of interest. Kyt, on the 454 and 459 site, the book, Desert Scorpions, is hardback and 500 pages! Good value but postage would hurt. I spoke to the bookshop selling it and he said it's probably the best squadron history he's seen. http://www.454-459squadrons.org.au/ http://www.3squadron.org.au/

You're Top Poster: #1  | It really is a very good website - and I particularly liked the section on the Squadron pigeons. Unfortunately, squadron histories of RAAF units are hard to find outside Australia so most people will be stung by high postage - but that's the cross we plane nuts have to bear  This site is handy to check which squadron histories are generally available - my aim is to win the lottery and then buy them all! http://www.aviationarchaeology.org.uk/research.htm |
