 | This section is to encourage researchers to share their research
tools. We all have our own indices and lists that we use in our hobby
day in day out. If it's useful to you, maybe others would find it
useful too?

| Graham Nash
Graham has indexed aircraft type appearances across a broad range
of books, magazines and journals. The Source List presents 72
pages of reference material included in the index, and the
second is the Aircraft Type Index itself. Both are in rtf
format - readable by virtually all word processors. To save you
download time, both files are compressed into one self-extracting zip
file - just "run" it and the data files will appear!
Anyone who has the Hikoki book "Military Aeroplanes 1914 -
1918" will recognise the format, and Graham pays due homage
to Barry Ketley's earlier work.

AIR 76 is a class of documents available at the Public Records
Office (PRO) in Kew, London. It contains the available personnel
records for WW1 officer aviators, on microfilm. The Johns have
prepared this index for researchers, to speed the process
of working out which reel of film holds the record you seek.

Many thanks to Nick Forder for passing on this really useful piece of
research. It lists all known WW1 engines still extant in the UK -
together with their location, who's responsible for them - and much
more.

| British Propeller Codes
Prop Codes
(49Kb)
Another great resource from Nick Forder, here we have listed over
300 prop codes, as used on British-manufactured props in WW1. Ordered
by drawing number, it shows the aircraft and engine combinations that
used the design.
Have you got one of these hanging over the fireplace?
