DUMBO Diary Index to names No.1

I do not see how my history of RNZAF 6 Squadron can have an index that isn't almost the same size as the book, ie 400 pages.
In order to make names findable I am going to start blogging them here. Some names, particularly those of aircraft captains, eg Manz, Sheehan, Agar, etc., occur throughout the book so reference in an index would be almost pointless.
Other names appear only once or twice, they are the LAC and AC1s who get a mention when posted to the Squadron or report to the Base Dispensary. But one mention among thousands of names will be too difficult to index and too difficult to find.
So I will try this method, recognising this is just no.1 of possibly very many.
