Born into the RAF Family\, through her own Family History Research Clare would discover a WW1 Ace who was awarded a D.C.M.\, a family member who was shot down over Germany during WW2 whilst serving with Bomber Command &\; more about her Fathers Service during t he Cold War Period. During WW2 Men from throughout the Commonwealth & \; beyond would sign up to serve with the Allied Air Forces. This often-da ngerous job would take many of them across the world and would see them fi ghting alongside men from other nations. This being the case tracking down relevant records can often be tricky. During her presentation Clare will tell the story of a crew shot down over France in 1944\, showing the sourc es and documents used to piece their story together\, covering records suc h as where to find Service Records\, records at the National Archives\, Ai r Force Lists\, researching Operations\, publications useful in your resea rch\, Combat Reports\, looking for memorials\, evaders &\; POWs\, oral histories and much more.
