On Page 146, the loss date for F4414 is incorrectly given as 5 March 1930. The correct date was 5 May 1930, as given in the aircraft listings on Page 326.

On Page 147, there is a photo of H1513 coded L, captioned as being with 48 Sqn in India in 1919. In the individual aircraft listings, there is no mention of this aircraft serving with 48 Sqn.

The 5 Sqn code for H1565 is listed as H in the aircraft listings. The photos on page 149 show that it was A.

No history details are given for F9616, other than it was reconstructed from spares at 3 (W)ARD Yate. The photo on Page 151 shows it to have been M of 5 Sqn in the period c 1926-1928.

A photo of J6782 code O on Page 152 is captioned as being from 32 Sqn in 1923. Presumably this should read 28 Sqn, as per the aircraft history, in which case the date of the photo is wrong.

C9837 is reported in the listing as B4 and C4 of 8 Sqn, wrecked 18 Jul 19. Photos said to be of this incident on page 109 show it coded B4, so it was either C4 and then B4, or the reference to C4 is incorrect. I agree the code C4 seems a bit dodgy Can one assume that the letters in front of the digits indicated their flight status? B being B-flight and thus C being C-flight? In such a case it is not impossible the aircraft may have been coded C4 before being wrecked as B4, but that is of course pure guesswork CheersStig

On Page 144, there is a photo of F4621 coded J, captioned as being with 28 Sqn at Ambala in 1928. In the individual aircraft listings, there is no mention of this aircraft serving with 28 Sqn. No idea how strict the markings in each Squadron was made/followed by those in charge, but looking at F4621 'J' (top photo on page 145) and the one coded D (just below on the same page) their unit markings differ quite a bit. Aircraft coded D has the unit (28 Sq) painted on the fin (digits 28) and the code J painted in front of the cockade, while F4621 lacks '28' on its fin and also has its code painted behind the roundel. This is of course way out of my comfort zone so no idea if that actually means anything. Perhaps if Eric Harlin is still with us, he can make some comment about it via Phil Jarrett? Cheers Stig

The entry for E2458 refers to it being marked as "8" with 88 Sqn in 1918. A photo on page 246 shows it to be coded "9" at the time of its loss on 3 Mar 19. So it was either recoded, or the reference to "8" is a typo.

Busy today Andy? Perhaps obvious, but the photo caption refers to the aircraft after it had been rebuilt as F6121. It is the loss details for F6121 that are missing.... Cheers Stig
