Log Book Assessment Summaries

Roving, in answer to your #11352 what you have is a copy of RAF form no. 414 (A), for insertion in log books and measuring 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches. It is headed SUMMARY of FLYING and ASSESSMENTS FOR YEAR COMMENCING........... , followed by two sections for completion under the sub-headings of ASSESSMENT of ABILITY and ANY POINTS IN FLYING OR AIRMANSHIP WHICH SHOULD BE WATCHED .

Its first appearance in my log book(s) is in February 1944 on completion of SFTS training, and regularly thereafter both annually or on completion of a (flying) course; its last appearance in December 1960, so presumably its use was discontinued from 1961 onwards. All such summaries completed in the UK are on the official form 414a, but those made overseas in 1944/6 are either based on a typed reproduction (as for the SFTS entry, done in Canada) or on a freehand copy as drawn by the log book's owner (then in SE Asia).
