Very tentatively suggesting a book - diaries of actress/writer who entertained troops/air force in out of the way, small places in N Africa, Middle East and India in 1944/5. Many of the places in this thread are mentioned or described. It's The Time of my Life by Joyce Grenfell. It might be of interest, but perhaps a bit too feminine?
Though I've nothing to do with the air force or commercial flying, this thread has been absolutely fascinating. Your courage, determination and nerve, gentlemen, is an example to us all. (It takes all my courage to fly a little Piper to the next airfield on a nice day!!)

Reason: mentioning places
