This time I am moving to another area. As I realise that the time I use for a more research intensive blog post is too long - I would like to put in some short blog posts to keep posting on a more regular basis in a hectic day to day life.
Even so - the post is based on use of period archival references - this time coming from the National Archives in London.
The report I am quoting gives some interesting insight into the meticulous work the allied forces did as they overran German occupied territory or the territories of their allies.
As the title suggest, I am starting with a report on Sardinia with an overview of the aircraft inspected on the various airfields there. As my family has a special relation to this island I fould it a nice place to start. Today known as a holiday island - then very much a part of the defence of the 'soft underbelly of Europe'!
I will come back with more - as an updated reported more than doubles this number - ending up at 278 aircraft!
