FACTS FOR HISTORY
NEW ZEALANDERS WITH R.A.F.
(Special P.A. Correspondent.) LONDON, September 6. A historical section has now been established at R.N.Z.A.F. headquarters in London, with a staff of six. It will compile a history in narrative form of the part taken in the war by all the New Zealanders who were attached to the R.A.F., not only in the European theatre, but also in the Middle East, India, and the South-east Asia Command. It is estimated that two years will be required to complete the narrative, which will then be forwarded to the historian in New Zealand, who will write an official history. Squadron Leader Frank Andrews, D.F.C., who did two tours with the No. 75 Squadron, is in charge of the section. Working, with him are Flight Lieutenants W. F. Crist and J. A. Whelan, both of Auckland, and H. L. Thompson (address not stated), and Flying Officers G. Lewis, Auckland, and D. G. Clare, Manaia. They will secure their material from official records made available by the R.A.F.
