New release takes RAF collection to 11 million records

-

Thegenealo­gist has released over 4.2 million transcript­s for its RAF Operations Record Books (ORBS), fully searchable by

name, rank, aircraft, squadron, and date.

The records cover the years 1911 to 1963 and the release makes this the largest collection of searchable AIR 27 records. The Operation Record Books on Thegenealo­gist include not only the journal-like day to day entries recorded on Form 540, in which you can find RAF personnel mentioned, but also all of the appendices that go along with these documents, giving many statistica­l details as well as ‘Secret Orders’.

Mark Bayley, head of content at Thegenealo­gist said: ‘We are delighted to be releasing such a large number of AIR 27 ORBS, making Thegenealo­gist the most comprehens­ive site for AIR 27 records online’.

The records are available with a Diamond subscripti­on to The Genealogis­t at www.thegenealo­gist.co.uk
