A common question amongst researchers is, which Ops did a particular pilot or aircraft fly? In an attempt to address this question for Whirlwind enthusiasts, I have produced a pair of digests from the ORBs broken down by Pilot and by Aircraft. This provides an at-a-glance summary for any individual aircraft or pilot. The Pilot digest also contains a very brief summary of the pilots' careers where known.

In addition, I have created a summary of casualties recorded in the ORB broken down by month and type, and footnoted with information from the ORB entry.

These digests can be found on the ORB page or by clicking here.

There are also new entries from the Appendices. Of particular note are the the official history of, and diary extracts made during, the Norwegian expeditions, giving an intriguing insight to this often-overlooked campaign. Follow the link for more details...
