Wind in the Wires
« on: December 13, 2014, 06:28:56 AM »
Wind in the Wires, first published in 1933, was written by 56 Squadron's last CO, Captain Duncan William Grinnell-Milne MC, DFC & Bar, and is an account of his time in training and combat with the RFC/RAF.

My bedtime reading for the next week or so.

I have had a Paperback copy of this book since my Teens! One of the Books that got me hooked on WW1 and on 56 Sq.
