(Battle of Britain Pilot) we have been able to purchase part of his extensive collection of books relating to the Battle of Britain and the RAFs contribution to the Second World War. As would be expected of this Spitfire fighter pilot, who formed part of Douglas Baders "Big Wing" the books outline both the exploits of his and his fellow pilots and the tactical planning, forays and personalities that made up the RAFs magnificent wartime involvement. The books of themselves hold a wealth of information about this period, having been carefully chosen by one who was there and also hold a poignancy having been owned by someone to whom the experiences and people who are documented within were all very real, so much so that many of the books are annotated or amended where details do not tally with his recollection or understanding of the events.
