Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW II

[Geriaviator]

Remember the memoirs of Sqn Ldr Rupert Parkhouse, shot down in France on his third sortie in a Farey Battle? His son Richard found this gem on another website, Battle of Britain London Monument - Airmens Stories - Barthropp PPC

One young man, Rupert Parkhouse, a young Cranwell cadet, spent five years as a Prisoner-of-War only to be told when he got home that one third of his service pay was deducted and that he didn't qualify for the Air Crew Europe Star as he had not completed sufficient time in an operational squadron.

We serialised Rupert's memoirs in this thread last year and they are available if anyone wishes to read them as one document. There is also the e-Book of Danny42C, entitled In with a Vengeance and much enjoyed by many who have received it so far. If you want a copy of either, send me, Geriaviator, a PM containing your email address as we can't send attachments via Prune.
