Telephone Databases

I have found telephone databases a valuable tool for tracking down members of escape lines or their families and airmen and their families.  A letter sent to everyone with the family name I am interested in often produces valuable responses.  Even  if a person is primarily interested in an American airman’s experiences, often they were accompanied by airmen from other Allied air forces, hence the listings below for Australia, Belgium, Britain, etc.
