It would have been impossible to complete this history of No. 279 Squadron without the assistance of a large number of people: fellow historians, aircrew, ground crews and relatives of squadron members.
I am extremely grateful to all those who provided assistance with photographs, logbooks, letters and support. I would particularly like to thank Malcolm Barrass for producing the fine colour profiles of 279 Sqn aircraft for the book. My thanks also go to those listed below.
