For the first time, it also incorporates the role of Gun Operations Rooms under Anti-Aircraft Command into the broader narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed accounts of each operations centre and a full listing of Royal Observer Corps posts across Scotland allow for local-level research into the contributions of individual communities.
