Congratulations! The cover is wonderful. A trully tribute to a forgotten hero...and remembering that this started with a previous thread of mine down here at Toch, remembering one of the RAF Heroes that did not had, until now, a decent biography....

OBS: If memory does not fail me, the DSO precedes the DFC either on the name of the person who holds both, but also talkinb about the ribbons that must be sewed onto the RAF Service and Battle Dress. Are you able to correct that, either on the tittle and the ribbons showing at the cover????

It is already on the wish list for Xmas....

Re: New book - Group Captain Bertie Hoare, RAF
 

Danny, please inform when orders can be placed, ok?

Re: New book - Group Captain Bertie Hoare, RAF
 

That is a good spot Adriano-DSO before DFC! Big howler on that cover then. Furthermore, from what I can see he never shot down a He 111 while flying a Mosquito?

Re: New book - Group Captain Bertie Hoare, RAF
 

Well done Danny!

Look forward to reading it and adding it to the collection. Interesting subject matter.

Cover is no sweat as long as it's not already being printed. Easily remedied!

Congrats again!

Thanks all for your kind words .... and observation which I have had amended on the cover by the publishers.

Chris, I hope all is good mate. Bertie did claim a a few He111 results, granted little information on these, apart from the damaged on the 13 Sep

1941
03/04 May 1x He 111 Destroyed
13 Sep 1x He 111 Destroyed
13 Sep 1x He 111* Damaged

Thanks again guys.

Cheers

Danny

Orders through Amazon or Pen and Sword.

Re: New book - Group Captain Bertie Hoare, RAF
 

Danny: Fine here and hope you are too. Still serving? Aware of his claims via Aces High but the claims you list were with him flying a Blenheim, not Mosquito?

Re: New book - Group Captain Bertie Hoare, RAF
 

Thanks Danny...it shall be ordered, be sure of that.

Do you serve with 23 or 13 Squadron ? Airmen or ground crew or Staff ?
