Veteran interviews and archives
The web sites below contain oral history collections preserving the wartime memories of thousands of veterans in Australia and overseas. Many served in Bomber Command. Their interviews offer vivid, personal accounts of training, operations, loss, survival, and the lifelong impact of service. Please be aware that some material may be distressing. Certain interviews include offensive language, negative stereotypes, and references to people who have died. These recordings reflect the culture, attitudes, and experiences of the interviewees at the time of the events and the date of the interview. They are shared to honour, remember, and understand their lived history.​
The International Bomber Command Centre Digital Archive is a particularly rich treasure trove of papers, letters, diaries, photographs, maps and other documents.
