Does anybody know that book?
Oliver Clutton-Brock:
FOOTPRINTS ON THE SANDS OF TIME: RAF Bomber Command Prisoners-of-War in Germany 1939 - 1945

As this book is believed to contain the complete list of all Bomber Command airmen who were taken PoW, I am particularly interested to learn if there`s a short info on circumstances of capture of each airmen by German?

Also I would like to know as well if there are also polish airmen mentioned and/or described...
Thank you in advance for your help.

With regards,
Grzegorz

hello,

You should have posted your query on the other board, not on this "useful books and research materials", as less people are visiting this part of the board.

Many forumites have this book.

To answer your question, no. This is roughly a listing of PoWs, with name, rank, initials, Squadron, type of bomber and serial number of the bomber, date of loss.

As far as I can remember, yes Polish airmen from Bomber Command are listed.

I think you placed your query in the correct section as it's title is "Useful Books etc " but as Joss has written more people seem to look at the Main Category section.
