A Significant Update to the Awards Database.

Thanks to Hugh Halliday, about 2300 pre-war awards have been loaded into the DB.. As you know, Hugh maintains copious notes and they are reflected in the details area.. He has kindly donated the data for our DBs.

You can see the awards starting before 1939-09-01 at this link http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...x.php?qafdb=HH

Default view shows WW2 awards

So in the individual page view, you will see the pre-war awards appearing as well - eg http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...&qname=CORYTON

An additional feature is the "Keyword" Search..

eg "Walrus"
http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...submit1=Search

or Hurricane (hint, not as many as i thought it would be!)
http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...submit1=Search
