Not too sure if there is any interest in this, but I thought that I would post a couple of pages in case there was. KTK   |

Logbooks are always of interest. Thanks for posting. I have hever seen a ringboard logbook like that, was it a seperate personal notebook rather than an official logbook?

Interesting logbook...thanks for posting.
Was in Hanau two days ago visiting some friends near there...railway yards were the big target there as well as the Dunlop factory.
Rotterdam mission possibly part of 'Operation Mana or Chowhound' ? - Dutch starving after Germans flooded most of Holland.
Ring binding is obviously recent...no doubt done with good intentions but probably losing some details in the process.

Is this logbook for an RNZAF member or someone from another country?

I meant the navigator whom the logbook belonged to, not the squadron.
I assume it is an RCAF members logbook?

It is my uncle's log book. a copy that he made for me hence the binding. He also gave his mission wings for 30 missions and his shoulder patch. RCAF.

Log books are always intersting and thanks for posting one where 31 operations had been completed. It always suprises me that even with the end of the war less than a month away the flak batteries had no shortage of ammo.
Also of note that the Allies had such air superiority that the raids over the Ruhr on the 11th and 12th March were daylights. something unthinkable a year before.
