Example of what you could find in these records
One of the notable individuals featured in the newly added United Kingdom, British Air Force Lists, 1919–1945 collection is Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader, one of the most famous RAF fighter pilots of World War II. Despite losing both legs in an accident before the war, Bader returned to active service and became a leading figure during the Battle of Britain.
The collection includes multiple entries documenting his career over time. For example, one record lists him as a Flying Officer with a commission date of January 1932, reflecting his early years as an officer.
Another record, published in May 1941, shows his promotion to Flight Lieutenant, with a commission date of September 1940 — right in the midst of the Battle of Britain, when he rose to prominence.
These are just two examples. In fact, Bader appears in more than 10 records within the collection, allowing researchers to follow his lengthy military career step by step through official Air Force Lists.
