Hugh Ashton, gunner, 83 Squadron - secondary logbook, personal copyContext
Hugh Ashton completed a tour of 45 ops, during which he won the Distinguished Flying Cross. This logbook is his personal copy of the official logbook which was signed by his commanding officers. These secondary, parallel logbooks which were sometimes compiled by aircrew often included items or remarks that they could not include in the official version. However, Ashton does not seem to have used it in that way, and the logbook is certified on 24.1.44 by someone acting on behalf of 83 Squadron's commanding officer as having correct entries.Collection
