RAF Fighter command losses

[Scott McIntosh]

In this series of books how many volumes are there in this one.

I have googled this and can only find reference to three. Is this correct.

On a similar note how many volumes are in Bomber command losses and your very own volumes Ross Coastal command losses.

Thanks in advance.

FCL - 3 volumes (about 50% coverage only, however)
BCL - 8, soon to be 9 (the final volume)
CCL - 1 so far
Also, RAF Bomber Losses in the Middle East & Mediterranean - 1 of 2 so far

Thanks Errol,

I knew someone would know the answer.

I am expecting the 3 volumes of Fighter command losses in the next few days and would like to get the coastal losses soon. After that I will make a start on the bomber losses.

Can be quite expensive trying to get the books you want but I am sure you know this.

Try using Abebooks you can find most books secondhand at good prices.

Scott,

For what it is worth, on page 12 of Midland Counties latest Catalogue, No.106, there is advertised a special full set/9-volume price for Bomber Command Losses of £124.87 (saving £34.00 on the normal price).

Thanks for that Errol,

Well worth considering.

Thanks Andy,

I have a few book sites I use and abe books is sometimes one of them.

Scott,

Even better is BookFinder.com

It includes ABEbook listings as well as others.

Thanks Errol

Thats the one I use often.

However I do find it helps to search in numerous different ways as the search is not always accurate.

I try and search by author name, book name and a number of variations as these sometimes bring up books that have been incorrectly listed but are actually the book you are looking for.

More than one way to skin a cat as they say.

Hi guys,

got my copies of the three volumes 4/12/07 and I might say quite impressive.

How accurate are the records in terms of actual crew and aircraft comparisons.

ie what are your experiances while dealing with a particular record.

I will be getting the Coastal losses next I think.

Great reading if you like data crunching like I do.

Scott, sadly not 'quite impressive', as a visit to http://www.rafcommands.com/dcforum/DCForumID7/204.html
will confirm.

So

on reflection take these books as a good start but follow up on the data given within.

I myself would love to write a book someday on losses in my area but simply dont have the time at present and I would hope I had exhausted the resources before I published it.

Thanks Errol

I wonder if any corrections have been incorporated?
