Jump Or Die - Signed |
| Jennings, Douglas |
|
|
|
Tucann Books (2005) softcover (144 pages) book titled ‘Jump or Die’, by Douglas Jennings - signed to the title page. Douglas Jennings was a bomb aimer on 57 and 9 Squadrons from 1944-45. Whilst flying on Lancaster operations from his base in Lincolnshire with 57 Sqn he was shot down and with the help of the Belgian resistance evaded capture to return to operations. Then with 9 Sqn, that were at the time equipped with the Barns Wallis developed ‘Tall Boy’ bomb, he nearly had to ‘hit the silk’ again but managed to just get back safely. After deducting the production costs, the balance of the cover price will be going to the Thorpe Camp Preservation Group near Woodhall Spa to help with their aim of preserving part of the No1 Communal Site at RAF Woodhall Spa. Signed by the author to the title page during a visit to....

There and Back Again: A Navigator's Story - Signed |
| James Douglas Hudson, DFC |
|
|
|
These words from Binyon's poem 'For the Fallen' were written to honour those who died in the First World War. During this period Douglas Hudson was born and later survived six years of wartime service in the Second World War, to grow old himself. Now at the age of 85, he has written his memoirs. 'There and Back Again' gives a dramatic account of his experiences on two Operational Squadrons of Bomber Command, separated by a period of two and a quarter years as a prisoner of war in three North African Prison Camps, one deep in the Sahara Desert. He was recaptured after making two escapes and repatriated to fly again operationally, following the allied invasion of in November 1942. It tells of camaraderie and....

Enemy Coast Ahead - Uncensored |
| Gibson, Guy (Wing Commander VC) |
|
|
|
Crecy published (2006) softcover (288 pages) book titled ‘Enemy Coast Ahead - Uncensored’ by Guy Gibson. First published in 1944, Enemy Coast Ahead combines Gibson’s RAF career, including the famous Dambuster raid which he himself led, with the inside story of life in Bomber Command and is still a riveting read for the immediacy and vibrancy of its writing. And yet, what has not been widely known is that the published edition of Enemy Coast Ahead was carefully cut by wartime censors to conceal not only specific details of his career and secret aspects of Bomber Command operations, but more explicitly his views of the conduct of the bombing campaign, his opinion of senior officers and his thoughts on the behaviour of the general population in wartime conditions. Much has been written and said about Gibson and his controversial character, and much about the true Gibson has remained shrouded....
