Re: A question RE: Shore's 'Air War for Burma'
There are quite a few, which (I think) always makes for rivetting reading. Most take the form of personal accounts drawn from entries in diaries and letters to loved ones, less so from face to face interviews. Sadly not many veterens were alive when Grant first wrote the book in 1995.
The table of contents is as follows. Forward Location map, northern Australia Map of North-western area Background The first four weeks Raid 52: the Wing's First Raid 53: The First Full Wing 'Op' Raid 54: A Severe Reverse Winter Comes - And Goes: The Millingimbi Raids Raids 55, 56 & 57: We Earn Our Keep Raid 58: The Dry Raids 59 ,60 & 61: The 'Dry' Continues Rais 62, 63 & 64: The Last Epilogue Appendix 1: Pranged By The Bloody Navy (W. Hardwick) Appendix 2: A Bad Case Of Murply's Law (R. Williams) Appendix 3: Fiery Exit (C. Duncan) Appendix 4: Spitfire Mk.V Crashes In North-western Area Honour Roll Aircraft Losses/Claims By No. 1 Fighter Wing 1943 Index Glossary Of Terms Bibliography Plus 54 excellent photo's. |
