I recently managed to purchase this reference book for what would be considered a reasonable price - I have seen these go for between £40 & £120 in the past year or so

Although my "new" copy is well used and and clearly not come from a smoke free home, I am pleased to have what is probably THE definitive reference work on Halifax production and usage

Published in 1982 by Air Britain and the British Aviation Archaeological Council and collated by RN Roberts

Between 1974 and 1979 the Halifax File author RN Nick Roberts from Leeds also compiled and self published a series of aircraft crash logs which like the Halifax File are superb reference works and equally hard to find . The full set comprised ;
Aircraft Crash Log No 1 : Avro Lancaster ; August 1974
Aircraft Crash Log No 2 : Handley Page Halifax ; August 1975
Aircraft Crash Log No 3 : Short Sunderland ; June 1977
Aircraft Crash Log No 4 : Armstrong Whitworth Whitley ; March 1978
Aircraft Crash Log No 5 : Boulton Paul Defiant ; July 1979

The Air Britain 'Files' series also now runs to several volumes and includes such aircraft as the Anson , Hampden , Hornet , Lancaster , SE5 and many others . All of these books are also now out of print but Air Britain does have it's own second hand books department which may be of help ? ; www.air-britain.com/second.html .

I wouldn't mind either the Whitley or Halibag File . . . . but they are both like gold-dust !!
