I hope we can keep this wonderful thread going!
I picked up a good read last week in Hay Cinema Bookshop - 'From Dogfights to Diplomacy' by Donald MacDonell.
He went to Cranwell in the early 30s, did a loan spell with the Fleet Air Arm amongst other postings and was then posted to Kenley as OC 64 Squadron just in time for the Battle of Britain. I've just reached the point where he was shot down over the English Channel by the Luftwaffe ace, Molders, in 1941 and 'rescued' by the Germans.
