The Operation Record

They consist of two major documents, the Form 540 and the Form 541.

The Form 540 describes in general the activities of the Squadron on a month by month basis.

The Form 541 describes the details of operations carried out.

In order to provide some detail of the Squadron activities, some of these records have been transcribed from the Kew files Air27 1329-1331.

It takes a number of "revisions" to get the details as the crew names, place names and times correct in the transcriptions, as well as correcting any typing errors. In order that their is some public record, some transcripts have been placed on this site on a "first draft" basis. (Or, in other words -- no prizes for finding typos)

The following transcripts are for 1944, starting in July, when the Squadron first received Liberator aircraft.
