...What an excellent thread, on a subject close to my heart...
Thank you !
...I have them still, along with his logbooks. He had made numerous notes in the latter, with additional details of notable sorties and some very human and personal memories. Some of them were eye-watering, in both possible senses of that expression...
May I point you to the best Thread of all (IMHO) on ths Forum - the "Pilot's Brevet in WWII", of course - and respectfully suggest that, if you have the time, you might edit Eric's memoirs and Post them there.
They will be eagerly mulled over and commented on by a knowledgeable and friendly group of old and not-so-old veterans, who "speak his language" and remember how it was and why. I'm sure Eric would approve, and in this way you would do him lasting honour.
Just a thought,
