Just read "the book", or one of them. Friends here in France have just lent me a self-published modest little book of 132 pages, written in a most modest and laconic style, by a relative of theirs called James Markham, not a bomber or fighter pilot but Coastal Command, much less well reorded. The book tells the story of his selection and training, first posting to Iceland and so-on. He flew Hudsons, Mitchells (as an instructor) and Liberators, and gained an immediate DFC for the confirmed sinking of a U-boat. Sadly James died days after copies of his his book were delivered, and before he had time to sign them.
