For those who dinnae subscribe to AvWeb's AVflash, this comes from Vol. 6, Issue 34a, from today:
RELIVE THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY-BY-DAY: 60 years ago this summer the
Royal Air Force stood alone against the superior numbers of Germany's
Luftwaffe in one of history's greatest air battles -- the Battle of
Britain. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain
(July 10-October 31, 1940), the Royal Air Force has constructed a Web
site for military history buffs. The site offers the complete Fighter
Command Operational Diaries, published in full for the first time and
placed online day-by-day over the actual period of the battle.
Additional content includes overviews of all the major aircraft
involved, and information on commanders, units and stations.
NOTE: AVweb's Newswire <http://avweb.com/n/?34a> includes a link
to the Battle of Britain Web site.
Here's a link directly to the RAF's website:
http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/bobhome.html The title page at the site says every day they'll add the events diary pages to the site, apparently 60yrs to the day after they were written. They'll be added over the next four months. It also says daily audio broadcasts, taken from the official Fighter Command Daily Summaries, giving the news highlights of each days action in the Battle of Britain are available in steaming format.
I haven't really gone digging into this website (YET), so I can't rate it. But haven't seen anything about it here yet. And knowning what kind of WWII buffs we have around here, thought it should be shared
