Hi all

I am lucky enough to have my grandfathers WW2 log book from when he was in B-24's in 21 Squadron as a crew member (he was a radio operator and gunner)
My question is how is the best way to preserve the information. I'm happy to reproduce and put the info into some document and put on here.
Has anyone done this and if so where could I put it where it would be useful or of interest to anyone?

You are best to scan them and make a PDF file for all to see.

After you have scanned it you might want to donate a scanned copy to to the AWM or RAAFM to add to their archives.

That way it live on forever !

Thanks Brenden and Greg

I contacted the AWM and they don't accept any copies and I'm not ready to give up the original if I will at all. The RAAF Museum did show interest in keeping a copy of it so will send it through and get a copy on here somehow.


Cheers
