The project aims to create a series of books that will focus on one RAF Command during World War Two. Each book will follow a similar format, providing an overview of the Command and its predecessors in the period leading up to 1939. The Command history section will be divided into sections based on roles or operations, with the exact composition depending on the Command. For example, the Battle of Britain for Fighter Command will have separate sections covering Commanders, Aircraft, Orders of Battle, and Group overviews. The section will include information panels on various topics, such as Commanders, Aircraft, Orders of Battle, and Group overviews.

The Outline history of the Command post 1945 section will provide a summary of the Command's activities after the war. Appendices will include airfields, squadron histories, reading lists, and heritage trails, allowing readers to explore further the Command's legacy.

The project will be a valuable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning more about the RAF during World War Two. By providing a detailed and comprehensive account of one Command, it will offer a deeper understanding of the war and the contributions of the RAF to the Allied victory.
