What does this offer? - allows you to see the aircraft type and serial number, clicking the serial will take you to other possible details around the aircraft, CWGC (Till mid 1941) or forum posts. Clicking on the Camp name will take you to the Campwise listing..

Data ofcourse belongs to Ross. I just packaged it a different way.

The oldsite is still available at http://www.rafcommands.com/old-site/air-force-pows/

Hmm. Keep getting a blank page so the URL might have broken. Will investigate

Hi Jagan, that is great and useful idea thank you!
But as you have already mentioned, I am getting only blank page even if trying to find someone how is definitely of list from Ross.

Hmm for some reason, it is working from my home.. anyway made a couple of minor changes.. it should look like this

An example of the serial number search

Jagan thank you, now it works fine for me.

It is asking to tie with German interrogation reports and AIR 81 files!

I suspect before we do anything that the Additional details in Ross's list needs to be fleshed out.

12527 records in total

2174 have dates
2231 have units
2152 have an aircraft serial associated with it.

All the three above are pretty much coordinated - that is the roughly 2150x records ahve dates, units and aircraft numbers.. so that leaves 10300 records that do not have any of the three.

0 have ranks
0 have firstnames/fullnames

I can put a google sheet out there if folks want to take a stab at it.
