Re: Wing Commanders in the Battle of Britain

Hi Brian

I must admit to a personal interest in Basil Embry - also my copy is the hardeback 1st edition 1957 version - he was my late father's C.O. at A.A.F.C.E. Fontainebleau, and signed his NATO certificate of service.

We were one of the families mentioned in "Headaches" - "..many British families were forced to seek houses in neighbouring villages and towns.." living initially in the picturesque, but cold in winter, Moret-sur-Loing, until new NATO married quarters were built in Fontainebleau itself.

I could write more about him, and Fontainebleau, but this is not the place for it!

Good luck with your project.

Allan
