NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE
LION WITH BLUE WINGS, by Ronald Seth; Victor Gollancz, English price 16/-. HIS is the story of the Glider Pilot Regiment from 1942 to 1945. The book opens with a description of the scene in a glider during the attack on Sicily and then, through the familiar flash-back technique, we are taken back to the beginning and shown all the steps which led up to this attack. There were many difficulties to be overcome, not only technical but personal. The Glider Pilot Regiment was something of an orphan, unwanted either by the Army or the Royal Air Force. The way these difficulties were overcome is a lasting tribute to the personalities of some of the pioneers and proof that the Regimental motto "Nothing is Impossible" was no idle boast. The body of the book is written for the non-technical reader, but there is an appendix which gives details of training and organisation methods.
