Interesting website. It is historical in focus but has a lot of stuff that might be interesting to modelers also.

"Collect Air | Friend or Foe? Museum"

Thanks to whoever for moving it here.

This site has a trove of primary documents on the air raids over Japan:

Japan Air Raids.org

You can read the documents on the site, although these are slow to load, or you can use the associated Scribd.com link on the document pages to download the PDF files from there.

Not sure how many are aware, but the National Archives in the U.K., due to current COVID restrictions, is allowing free downloads of many of its digital records. You can, for example, download squadron Operations Record Books for free (within some restrictions).

If you've ever wanted digital copies of a given RAF squadron's ORBs, now would be a good time to visit the site: The National Archives

You can download up to 100 files in a 30-day period if registered. Registration only requires an e-mail address.

Hi,

We've just released our latest blog post, and it features an operation by Douglas A-20s of the Soviet VVS KBF off Memel, Lithuania, on the afternoon of 14 September 1944. The Soviet aircraft were successfully intercepted by FW 190s of the Stabsstaffel of J.G. 51. The blog post can be found here.

Our other blog posts about Eastern Front air operations in the second half of 1944 are listed below:

- 4. Flieger-Division operations over Belarus on 3 July 1944
- Luftflotte 1 operations over Estonia and Latvia, 11 August 1944
- A combat between J.G. 51 and the VVS on 19 September 1944
- Luftflotte 1 operations over Courland, 7 November 1944

Hopefully these posts are of interest.

Cheers,
Andrew A.

Hi,

Thought I'd let the forum know that the latest Air War Publications blog post has been released, 'Battling for Budapest: Luftflotte 4 in December 1944'. It can be found at this link, and features FW 190s, Bf 109s, and even some Hungarian Me 210s. There are first-hand accounts from several of the German airmen involved in the Battle for Budapest in December 1944.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
