Air War Greece

We are a team of independent researchers, with a penchant for comparative Military Aviation History.
‘AirWarGreece’, is a research project on the Air War over Greece and its periphery during the Second World War, supervised by Dr Vogiatzis, History of Technology PhD with a specialization in Aeronautical History.
First period to be investigated is the October 1940 – June 1941 timeframe, which involves the British, Italian, Greek and German Air Force. The work is based mainly on primary sources, but we wish to utilize also sources from private collections. Not an inconsiderable part of the original archives and documentation has unfortunately been lost, and we are trying to fill the voids and annul the contradictions looking for alternative sources, in form of digital copies. Flight Logbooks or Diaries of the personnel involved, both pilots and technicians, photos, testimonies or contemporary documents and any source offering an overlooked titbit of information.
We wish to get in touch with family members and descendants of pilots, from all the involved countries. We are also looking for researchers or collectors and anyone else who has archival sources that may contribute to our research. All those involved in the project will be mentioned, unless they wish to remain anonymous.
Therefore, this website will hopefully function as a two-way communication portal. Looking for new material to study but also posting data and short articles about aviation losses, missions, bombings and everything that is related to aviation operations, we believe that we will keep the interest alive and that in the long term we will fill a gap in the History of the Air War, that is relevant to today’s speakers of all four languages. At the same time, we hope that the website will be gradually transformed to a continually updated database about the aviators, their whereabouts and their units, during the Second World War.
