On a fine spring morning in 1944, seven weeks before D-Day, a lone German bomber emerged from the clouds over the Isle of Wight. It circled low over the northern part of the island, and somehow managed to withstand a barrage of anti-aircraft fire before flying across the Solent to the Hampshire coast, where it fell victim to an attack by two RAF Typhoons and to further anti-aircraft fire. The bomber crash-landed in a field close to Exbury House which, at this time, was the home of HMS Mastodon, a naval headquarters closely involved in preparations for the Normandy landings. None of the men on board the Junkers Ju 188 survived. In the aftermath of the crash, a number of questions began to arise. Why had the Ju 188 flown alone in broad daylight directly to an area of the south coast of England where preparations for D-Day were reaching a crescendo? Why had it loitered suspiciously over the Isle of Wight? Why, when it was under attack, had it appeared to take little or no defensive action? Why had it fired red Very lights? And, crucially, why were there seven bodies in the wreckage at Exbury when the Ju 188 should only have been carrying a crew of four? These questions gave birth to a mystery which has intrigued all who encountered it, including world-famous novelist Nevil Shute, who was so taken with the story that he made it the basis for his novel Requiem for a Wren (1950). John Stanley first encountered the mystery when on a family holiday on the Isle of Wight and determined to uncover the truth about the mystery. He subsequently spent many years of his spare time painstakingly researching the incident, including contacting every known eyewitness and all the relatives of the seven young Germans who died in the crash. The results of his patient detective work are to be found in this fascinating book. Ref E 6.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. This new copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. This copy has been signed 'With Best Wishes Jack Hambleton' on the half title with no other dedication. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Jack 'Hamby' Hambleton's World War 2 memoir recalls the antics of young 'erks' at war. Jack, an MT driver with the RAF, was involved in many misadventures. Escapades as diverse as carousing with the crew of a Russian submarine in the Shetlands, 'nobbling' a donkey derby in Egypt and being a patient at an RAF hospital filled with outrageous malingerers are all amusingly related here, and much else besides. This is a great book describing what it was like to be an average serviceman in the British forces, in this case the Royal Air Force. No dashing fighter pilot, determined Bomber crew member, air gunner or navigator just a truck driver. The book takes you through the daily routines, humour, tragedy and idiosyncrasies that these men and women went through. From typically mundane working class backgrounds and being whisked off to exotic far off battlefields. Ref UU 6. Signed by Author(s).…

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Roy Taylor was just one of the many thousands of young British men of the postwar era who were called-up for a compulsory two-year stint in the armed forces - an experience which defined their generation. For most, it was a time that they now look back upon with affection, when at an impressionable age they were thrown together with many others from all over the country and forced to learn the value of discipline, self-reliance and comradeship. Not surprisingly, many came to feel that the lessons they learnt during these years set them up for life, and in this respect Roy is no exception. For him, National Service represented a welcome escape from his less than happy home life, an opportunity to meet new people, learn a trade and visit new places… six new places to be precise - Cardington, West Kirby, Sandwich, St. Margaret's, Barkway and Truleigh Hill In the course of his enjoyable account of his years in RAF uniform he takes us to each of these places in turn as he progresses through his training to his posting on active service and in doing so he provides us with a series of accurate and believable snapshots of the life of a young National Serviceman in the 1950s.

Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. This new copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. This copy has been signed 'With Best Wishes' Peter Voyse' with no other dedication. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. In this entertaining memoir, Peter Voyse remembers his National Service days as a Royal Air Force 'erk', spent mostly underground in the network of bunkers that provided Britain's air defence at the time: "The snow flurried down onto an already white land. The yellow-grey sky gave a promise of more to come. The Lancashire countryside looked like a Christmas card, with the exception of a large rectangular-shaped mound that protruded from the ground like some ancient burial site. On a levelled piece of ground at the side of the mound stood a number of parked vehicles; three lorries, their canvas backs sagging under the weight of snow and three utility-looking coaches. Just in front of one of the lorries stood a signboard which bore the words 'Royal Air Force Police Dogs Patrol This Area'." This was RAF Longley Lane, one of a chain of underground operation centres used in the defence of Great Britain and part of a wider system which formed the 'eyes and ears' of NATO air forces. The year was 1956 and one of the airmen working inside was Peter Voyse - now nearing the end of his two years' National Service. Ref V V 3 In common with many others who served in the post-war era, Peter looks back on his years in uniform with great affection and considers himself fortunate to have experienced the camaraderie and humour of fellow servicemen with whom he shared the ups and downs of military life. Delivered in an easy-going style that is always entertaining to read, his reminiscences will evoke nostalgic memories among members of his own generation, many of whom will have had similar experiences in their own National Service days.
