Where known, postings and their dates are included, as well as promotions, decorations, and successes claimed flying against the enemy. There is also much personal detail, often including dates and places of birth, civilian occupations, dates of death and place of burial or, for those with no known grave, place of commemoration.

In addition, there are many wartime head-and-shoulders photographs. No matter how brief their service or notable their military careers, all are equally acknowledged.
