    "They gave their lives. For that public gift they received a praise which never ages and a tomb most glorious-not so much the tomb in which they lie, but that in which their fame survives, to be remembered for ever when occasion comes for word or deed . . ."

    I've seen this on sale on ebay (usually about a tenner) and it's good to find it scanned. I love these WW2-era publications, for the pictures alone.

    Yes, they're a great set of publications.

    We've still got most of them from when my parents purchased them over 60 years ago now.

    Cheers

    See these all of the time on Ebay. Perhaps I should consider them more seriously as have read excerpts from the link Spidge posted before. My fave is the Beaufighters in Burma but, clearly, there is so much more.

    Did you see the SEAC Libs, Kyt?

    This one does not denote squadrons as the war was still in place (I assume).

    It is good to see confirmation of some of the statistical information:
