Hi All,
I thought a contributor from the land 'down under' might not go astray.
I am an avid reader and will give just about anything a try. Having said that, I do have a weakness for biographies and 'insightful' history. By this I mean that I yearn for more than mere dates and seek a window into the particular era.
From a writing perspective, I have been gathering the stories of aircrew from WWII and have been honoured to interview a number of them over the years. Whilst my original goal was to record their stories for their families, a number have found their way to print. Most notably I came to know an RAF fighter pilot SQNLDR K.B. McGlashan AFC who quite literally flew from Dunkirk to D-Day. The story of this remarkable Scot ultimately became my first book, "Down to Earth".
I look forward finding my way around your forum.
Cheers
Owen
