RECOMMENDED

A true classic in every respect. The story of Miles’s tour with the squadron during 1944/45. An often thought provoking book that questions the mortality of war and the inner courage of the individual.

"THE MAN WITH NINE LIVES"

By Gabrielle McDonald
The Book Guild Ltd
ISBN I 85776 804 3

This book is about a true legend with the squadron and No.3 Group, Geoffrey Rothwell. Geoff operated with No.75 and 138 Squadron as well as 218. His exploits as a flight commander are legendary on the squadron however this book really does not in my opinion do the man justice. A good easy to read never the less.

An absolute must read book. “Dickie” Austens book is a masterpiece. A engaging book with an appealing honesty which brings to life a number of personalities on the squadron during campaign of 1944/45. The book combines amusing ancodotes and the tension of daylight raids over Germany.
