161 Squadron RAF

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Hello NED and Dennis!
I am very interested as well on 161 Squadron´s record. I can suggest to you NED, the book of S/L Verity: "We landed by moonlight" from Crécy Publishing ( check on the Net ). There are other books too, like: THE SOE in France by famous Historian M.R.Foot. I remember a book, whose tittle I can not remember by heart, which was written by S/L Livry-Levell a famous French Navigator.
There are much more, off course. Hope to have helped so far. You can also try to contact the French Underground Association ( there are quite a lot of them ) or Museums.
Yours very friendly
Adriano

Buckmaster was the Operational Head of SOE
