Canberra Boys
 
Is it only me?

I have virtually all the "Boys" series, enjoyed the lot, found a host of names, places and incidents to remind me of my miss-spent youth, but I am struggling to get on with Canberra Boys.

Is it layout, content, typeface, style or what?

Certainly not the aircraft themselves, a superb creation, deservedly long-serving.

Perhaps just me?

Must say I struggled with the writing style of Andrew Brookes. Interesting content but hard to read.

A hard book to produce, with so many variants and so many roles to cover.

Nobody asked me, and I did two tours :)

On what variants, with which Squadrons, Sharpend?
