About this book
The incidents described in this book, however improbable or implausible they
may appear to be, are all completely true and have needed little or no
embellishment on the part of the author.
They all took place during a two year period between 1952 and 1954, and
helped to transform a callow, naive, possibly diffident youth, into a
tougher, more worldly, self confident young man, teaching him along the way,
the importance of discipline, self-reliance and loyalty.
For readers who remember this time, hopefully the book will re-kindle
memories of their own experiences during this era.
For readers for whom these years are part of an ancient history, perhaps it
will give them some idea of what it was like to be taken from your family,
friends, and familiar surroundings, and to be sent to a foreign land long
before the advent of television, phones in homes, mobile phones, computers
or any of the means of communication taken for granted today.
Whichever generation you belong to, take a journey through these stories,
some of which are happy, some of which are sad, some of which are slightly
strange and some of which are just plain mad. Read on!
The foreword to this book has been written by John Noakes, probably the most
famous of all the presenters of the Blue Peter programme. He and the author
were part of a close group of friends who formed part of the ground crew of
Number 256 Royal Air Force night-fighter squadron serving as part of the
Second Tactical Air Force in Western Germany and share many memories of that
period..
