This is the new home for all of Tony Wood's wonderful claims lists. While the site currently has no loss lists, that is an eventual goal. The site address is:
http://tonywood.cjb.net/
Tony's site has 3 major sections. The first 2 consist of documents or lists downloadable in Word 97 format, with .pdf available upon request. The third is a discussion forum.
Air Intelligence 2 (g): Inspection of Crashed or Captured Enemy Aircraft
Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6/U2
Report No. 8 / 151: Junkers Ju 88 G-1 Night Fighter
O.K.L. Fighter Claims: Chef für Ausz. und Dizsiplin Luftwaffen-Personalamt L.P. (A) V Films & Supplementary Claims from Lists
Poland 1939 and Reich & Western Front 1939-1940
Reich & Western Front 1941
Reich & Western Front 1941. Vol II
Reich & Western Front 1942
Mediterranean & Southern Front 1941-1942. Vol. I
Eastern Front vol 1. 1941
Eastern Front vol 2. 1942
Eastern Front vol 3. 1943
Eastern Front vol 4. 1944
Tony is adding more information as time permits.
Discussion Forum
The password for the forum is luftdata. The forum is obviously just starting and the need for a password, in this case, is a distinct hindrance. I've written to Tony and it is pretty clear that he wants the password generally known.
On the same page is the following notation:
"Luftwaffe Claim & Loss Data Files - A list of the latest Luftwaffe Data files as compiled by Tony Wood". This is followed with the link "Forum powered by Bravenet.com".
Rather than leading to the named claim and loss lists, this appears to be a solicitation for membership in Bravenet. I asked Tony about this and this apparently is a solicitation for membership in Bravenet, rather than a link to additional data.
<U>Background on new site</U>
In writing to Tony, I obtained some background details on this new site from Tony in an email of 07 July 2002, which I'll quote or paraphrase here.
The data lists started out on Michael Holm's site, with which most of us are familiar. Tony had contacted Mike in 1998 as to whether he would be willing to carry Tony's lists on his site, which he was. In time, however, alterations were made to the lists, still under Tony's name, which was frustrating to Tony.
"In the meantime I obtained the new BA-MA Films which transformed the entire idea of forming a data bank of Claims. A bull in a china-shop. I started this around January last year, splitting the format into three Theatres - Reich und West, Sudfront and Ostfront. The work on this is going well, and I rely heavily on nice guys giving me corrections, ideas, and requesting amendments. So the idea is that Issue One will be full of errors, and Issue Two will remedy many of these errors, Issue Three will be ...etc."
While this was going on, Mike was away in Japan for 18 months. So...
"In the meantime through Don Caldwell I get Les Butler to very kindly give me space in his web-site cjb=cjbutler so http://tonywood.cjb.net with "luftdata" as the forum pass-word.
And so I have started. I try to put all in a good format. But the goal posts change, and I am now polishing up a considerable bank of Claims fit for this site. It all takes time. So ...
1. Please say anything you wish about the site.
2. I cannot do Acrobat stuff, so Les says on the site that he can provide facilities to upgrade Word 97 to .pdf format for Acrobat reader. This he is willing to do.
3. He chastises me for not advertising the site. But in all honesty this I know not how to do this. On the Internet if you wish to find out about "Horse-Racing" you search "Horse-Racing".
4. He questions that the documents should be a Master Documents, whatever that means, so that people who down-load will be unable to access it. What do you think? This will stop people making lists and corrections until the next Issue. Believe me I am no
