Piece of Cake - Geoff Taylor

Anyone know of this book? I picked it up years ago as an ex-library discard. I've just re-read it, and it is a fantastic read: a perceptive and eye-opening account of an Aussie RAF Lanc pilot shot down & captured with most of his crew.

What concerns me is that someone appears to have written derogatory comments at points throughout the text, which have then been scribbled out or tipp-exed over. However, I can make out things like "I don't believe the bit where he tries to take the plane" or, "Aussie fantasy!". Does anyone know if Taylor has been dis-credited for any part of the book? I found it such an interesting and poignant read that I would hate to think of any part of the story being added or changed.

To mods: I wondered whether to put this on Av. H. & N. instead, but the apparently high incidence of RAF historians here made up my mind!. I've no objection to your moving it if you think it should be.
