Terminology
Permalink   

I have been checking the Bomber Command War Diaries book using it as a reference for my book on 431 Squadron and I came across this,
"Serrate Patrols" used in conjuction with a reference to minor operations 23/24Feb.1944. Does anyone know what this terminology means???? there was, according to the Diaries only 2 aircraft sent out so I'm thinking it couldn't have been anything too large. Thanks. Bill

Hi Bill,
A good source with many definitions is "No Prouder Place" written by David Bashow, also website www.rcaf434squadron.com where I added many of his definitions. Mutual agreement between us. 

Serrate sortie - operation to locate and destroy enemy night fighters and combined with night bomber raids. Made use of airborne radar.
