In the following list, a unit or airfield may appear in chapters or sections rather than the whole book. Many of these books are out of print. These books are NOT available from BAAC, but the best place to start tracking a title down is www.abebooks.co.uk and www.bookfinder.com. Please email us if you know of any books with chapters about specific squadrons, other units or airfields - particularly biographical ones! If you've read any books listed under unknown RAF units, please email which units are mentioned.
