Having read the following article in the Toronto Star when it was first published I have looked forward to the publication of this book:

I have no connection with Mr. Darling or his publisher. This is just one heck of a good story.

Hi dg one of the stories in the book is about a family member who was an RAF veteran. Thank you for your offer i will pass along your request to the author. This is a splendid website as is your avatar featuring Vic Morrow who was nothing short of brilliant in the Combat series.
