I might have missed them, or just looking in the wrong place, but why do we not see as many books written by UK Air commanders in the same way we get the various memoires and recollections of army types?
MRAF Sir John Slessor's "The Central Blue" is worth a read. However he left the RAF in mid-1950's so story is relevant to what was happening then (and earlier).
Having seen and photographed him on his farewell visit to the Rhodesian Air Training Group I always remember him and when his memoirs came out borrowed a copy from the library.
Photos taken at 5 FTS (RAF Thornhill). His son John, an instructor at 5 FTS is on the left in the bottom photo.
