There is a copy of the Blue Book on sale on e-bay and it has about 24hours to go. The web site is www.e-bay.co.uk.# 8393573846. There has not been a bid made as yet.

Hi Graham...I may be interested in the book.  My uncle was navigator on the crew of Julian Roadman.  I'm not familiar with the term "Blue Book" -- can you give me a brief rundown of the contents?  Thanks much.

The Blue Book is like an Annual or Yearbook for the Group put together shortly after the war and sent to those they had addresses for.  Most everyone should have gotten one.

The book goes chronologically through the history of the Group from beginning to end with a section on crew photos at the back.  Some are identified, some not.  

The Group has reprinted it, so you have to be careful of what you get.

P.S.  Sorry this is a litte late for the ebay listing.  I have seen Julian Roadman at a few of the reunions.
