 | Absorbing stuff, the remnants of the Operation Freshman heavy water raid and "The first B-17 'Flying Fortress' to be shot down in WWII" stood out for me, but they're all fascinating. Nice one!

| I was caught with the Luftwaffe page, and especially the FW200 because its a personal favourite aircraft of mine. In 1944-45 there was an awful lot of JU88 crashes.

| I'm glad you said that, I hadn't even noted the Axis page.  One of those websites I'd cheerfully buy in book form.
