Re: 74 Squadron. Reality Check
Hi
Thanks Gentlemen for your input on this, I agree totally with the points made. Squadrons such as 234,242,253 & 257 have been well covered on the problems of poor leadership. Many pre-War career RAF officers found themselves fish out of water when War came as C.O's of Fighter units - the pre-War RAF was seen by many of its officers as an exclusive flying club and the influx of a large number of newcomers did not sit well with them. It does seem though that the Hornchurch Squadrons 54,65 and especially 74 being a very close knit bunch took this harder than most and that a lot of problems with them already existed even before the War. Thanks again , these are just observations rather than questions. Cheers Bruce Lander
