Great stuff! Hanks for posting. Does anyone have a copy of the August 2004 issue of Flypast magazine? It had an article on RCAF Halifax Squadron 432 that was based at Eastmoor. If someone has this magazine and could post that article, that would be great. Thanks.

I don't know for sure but as far as I know the various non-pilot/engineer crew would not have had aircraft-specific manuals. They would have been trained on their respective equipment and pored over Air Publications associated with their equipment rather than the aircraft itself. For example, a bomb aimer operating a Mk XIV Bomb Sight, which was carried on several types, would have had to be familiar with Air Publication 1730A Volume I Chapter 9. Similarly AP1659A Volume I Chapter 14 covered the Fraser Nash F.N.20A turret mounted in the Wellington, Stirling, Lancaster and Warwick and that document would have been one of the references for a rear gunner on those aircraft.
