OT - Good book: First flight by Geoffrey Wellum - 04/22/06 07:28 AM
Hi
I've finished reading a good book called "First flight" by Geoffrey Wellum.
Geoffrey Wellum joined the RAF in August 1939. He joined no 92 Squadron flying Spitfires in June 1940 at the time of Dunkirk . He flew throughout the Battle of Britain, later completing over 50 fighter sweeps and escorts over northern France and Belgium until August 1941. He then joined 65 Squadron as Flight Commander in March 1942 operating over northern France and flew off Aircraft Carrier Furious on operation Pedestal, to Malta.
