True story.
My son came in one night decades ago and said that his mate had told him that his mother's uncle was a pilot during WW2. Nice. Said he had kept all of his wartime stuff. Including photos. Great! Then he said there was a photo of him with the squadron mascot, a goat! I was then like WTF!!! William de Goat of 609 Squadron. Also a drawing of him! I arranged to go to Mike's house and see the collection. The drawing was only a Cuthbert Orde! The collection was incredible! So I phoned my research buddy, Peter Cornwell, and asked if I could arrange for him to see the collection. I did, and when he saw it, he was gobsmacked. He said from that collection, he could write a book about Johnny Wells. Mike's mother allowed him to take the complete collection, as I vouched for his bona fides, and Peter returned it all. The upshot was a small print run of a book on Johnny Wells, Squadron Leader of 609 Squadron during the Normandy landings on 6th June 1944. William de Goat was a lowly flying officer at first, but 609 kept promoting the goat, and I think he ended up as an Air Commodore! They painted a white ring on his horns every time he was promoted, not realising that the paint that was used on aircraft was toxic. So William's antics became more lunatic as the war progressed. Eating a complete vegetable garden of one airfield commander; entering the office on another airfield and eating all of the paperwork on the various desks! It was also believed he was the first four-legged animal to set hooves on French soil when 609 moved to one of the first airfields liberated in June 1944, a day or so after the invasion. William survived the war and was retired to pasture once he returned to England. Forget all of the other mascots, William de Goat is THE one!
Johnny Wells book 001.jpg


One of the photos in the book. You can see the look of trepidation on Johnny's face! Apparently before he took off on a mission, he would seek out William and salute him!

Hope the foregoing is of some interest.
