ARS-FAQ-010 — Why does a search return no results?
This maybe due to not all records having been published yet. Try spelling variants, initials, an aircraft serial number, a squadron or a broader date range.
ARS-FAQ-011 — Should I search a person's full name or surname?
Start with the surname, then narrow your search with initials or given names where supported.
ARS-FAQ-012 — Can I search by aircraft serial number?
Yes, where an aircraft record contains its serial number, this can be a useful search term in the relevant section.
ARS-FAQ-013 — Can I search by squadron or unit?
Yes, where the section's search fields and indexed entries support that term.
ARS-FAQ-014 — How do I find a particular year of an aircraft loss?
Use the Aircraft Losses navigation to locate the relevant service and year, then narrow by date if available.
ARS-FAQ-015 — Why do some entries contain more information than others?
The surviving evidence differs from case to case. Some records include photographs and documents while others have only basic details.
ARS-FAQ-016 — Can I use the website on a tablet or phone?
The website can be accessed through a modern mobile browser, although some complex archive pages may be easier to navigate on a larger screen due to their additional side colour tools and search facilities..
ARS-FAQ-017 — How can I return to the main sections?
Use the main navigation links for Aircraft Losses, Society Archive Library, Heritage Collection and People's War History Group.
ARS-FAQ-018 — What should I do if a page does not load or shows an error?

Can I search across the entire website at once?
