R.A.F. Stories
E are used to the now familiar phrases in the newspapers "all our aircraft returned" or perhaps "from all these operations two of our machines failed to return." but in " Fighter Squadrons" we have the stories of many of these exploits. amazing stories of these wizards of the air who risk life and limb daily in the R.A.F. Cobber Kain has passed on; he will never know the result of this war, but his fame as an ace has undoubtedly inspired those pilots who have followed. To-day many of the young men training for the R.A.F. have for instructors several of these young heroes who won their D.F.C. ribbons in battle in those early days in France. I wish I had the time to tell you some of these amazing stories. Noel Monks criticises the censorship severely, for time and again his stories. were cut out and although witnessing some of these air fights he and other journalists were prevented from making their stories public. In this book he has produced them so that we all may read of England’s air heroes.-(Book review by E. J. Bell, 3YA, March 4.)
