Afternoon Jim, In all actuality I have not had a chance to read it yet. I have more books to read than time. It has nice semi gloss pages few pictures of airmen and aircraft. I ran across it for 7 bucks so couldn't pass it up. Here is a quick scan of the contents of what's in the book. Though as you can see it does have a few mistakes. Note bottom where they call the Focke wulf as 109 instead of 190.

Hope it helps.
All the best Paul

Thank you sir!
 
Got a great score last week. Personal account by a pilot who flew Airspeed Oxfords during the Battle of Habbaniyah in May 1941, resulting in the only battle honour awarded to a RAF Flying Training School.

It is not a clinical historican's account of the vital part Coastal Command played in that war, it is a very human story based on the personal as well as the flying experiences of the autor and his comerades, from joining as aircrew volunteers to demoband all the long years between that affected our lives. Flying into Arctic Circle in Whitley's from Reykjavik in Iceland with 612 Squadron on convoy escort patrols. Anti-submarine and convoy escort patrols dawn the Mediterranean from Gibraltar, flying Leigh Light Wellingtons of 179 Squadron. Back to OTU training new crews while on tour expired rest, more dicey than ops sometimes. Then from the island of Tiree off the coast of Scotland flying Halifax aircraft hundreds of miles out into the Atlantic finding the weather with 518 Squadron, "Ffinding the weather? We were in it!"... Great story, awesome book...
