I bought a batch of letters a young RAF serviceman sent home to his parents during WW2. He was based in India. The stories he shares with his parents as he - a young fellow who before the war only knew his corner of England - explores the food and culture of India are charming and funny. You can’t read some letters without seeing a movie in your head!
I would like to know more about his unit and his record. Is any of this information publicly available?

Yes Janet all military records are available. Go to The Raf military site WW2. Its open for all records. I've never used it but there was a discussion on Richards Frajolas site just two weeks ago. Don't mind my spelling i failed it years ago Richard had to put spellcheck on his web page because of my spelling drove him crazy lol. Happy hunting.
