INDEX RAAF WW2 1939-42

These posts were created using a set of Artificial Intelligence instructions, Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs), that use as their primary source the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM)  digitised collections (https://www.awm.gov.au). When a theme or topic is selected, the system maps it to relevant AWM Official History chapters, unit diaries, and series records—anchored to stable RCDIG/C-numbers—and builds Key Points, each with a link to the supporting chapter. Recommended further reading is drawn from a selected bibliography (https://www.ai-tutor-military-history.com/bibliography-jbgpt-ai). The result is a post that may be useful for self-directed study and allows the framing of further questions on the topic.
