Robert Standford-Tuck and Whirlwind

[brewerjerry]

Hi All,
Anyone ever seen Tuck's logbook?
I would be interested in the serial of the whirlwind/s he flew.
Was there a 80's print of his log (or am I thinking of someone else).
Details from a web interview, see below.
Anyone know any another 'famous' pilots who flew the whirlwind?
Cheers
Jerry

' CUNNINGHAM: Did you ever fly a twin-engined fighter such as the 'Whirlwind?
TUCK: Yes, I flew the Whirlwind. And of course I flew De Havilland Mosquitoes also, but not in combat. I never used them in combat, but I flew them for the hell of it, because I liked them. '

Not sure about RAF pilots, But I am a good friend with a AAF B-24 Pilot(Col.) who told me he went to an airfield and told the ground crew he was going to take the P-51 on the field for a flight.They just thought it must be ok so he did so! It never went on any log book. He told me the scariest thing he ever did was land that plane! Bob

Jerry,

I have a copy of his logbook. A fascimilie that was published either in the late eighties or early nineties.

Do you have the dates of the flights and i'll have a browse through for you. All the best,

Hi dave,
thanks for the offer, but unfortunately the website gives no dates in the interview, I might try to get a library copy.
cheers
