Re: flight commander , 118 Squadron 1943
Roger that Bruce. The "Tigers Tale" is full of very frank comments, which makes a refreshing change from the plethora of polite but dull war memoirs. However the overall tone of the book is that Freeborn is hard but fair... which his comments on anyone who sided with Malan show as just xenophobic, mean-spirited and grudge-bearing. The comments of the authors of "The Blue Arena" and "Smoke Trails in the Sky" certainly don't support the image I got of 74 Squadron from Ira Jones' "Tiger Squadron".
