Bader

Whiskey kilo Wanderer's excellent list gives the authorship of 'Reach for the Sky' as D Bader. In fact, if I recall correctly, it was written by Paul Brickhill.

A second biography of this amazing man, entitled 'Flying Colours' (not to be confused with C. S. Forrester's Hornblower book) by Laddie Lucas was written in about 1980.

Another biography, entitled 'Douglas Bader' was written by John Frayn Turner, who also wrote 'The Bader Wing'.

Another book (author unknown to me) called 'Bader's Last Flight'

There have been numerous other books both by Bader and about Bader listed on the web.

Regards,

BP.
