Robert Deacon-Elliott DFC 72 Sqn Battle of Britain.
Hi guys

Many years ago I recall seeing a book written by Deacon-Elliott about his time with 72 Squadron in the Battle of Britain. It may have been a war-time publication. I can't remember the title and can't find any reference on Google or Amazon.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian

Re: Robert Deacon-Elliott DFC 72 Sqn Battle of Britain.
The book consisted of notes from his diary.
It was called World War 2 December 1939 - December 1940.
It was published in February 1961.
I have never seen a copy for sale so I'm guessing it was produced In low numbers.

Best bet for visibility of a copy is RAF Museum

Hi guys

Oh dear!

And I have a copy of 'Swift to Battle' amongst my 1000-strong collection!

Thanks for the reminder!

Cheers
