Our Mission

A duty of remembrance

This digital archive preserves original logbook entries, personal memoirs, and historical records of 100 Squadron. We focus on the human stories behind the mathematical precision required to survive the air war.

Through careful documentation, we honor the vital role of Lancaster bomber navigators—such as Arthur William Dack—whose calculations guided crews through hostile skies.

The Navigator's Legacy

Through the darkness of the night run, mathematical precision guided them home.

We honor Arthur William Dack and the navigators of 100 Squadron who guided their crews home.
