New Books

    Member David Ince has written a new book, "Brotherhood of the Skies", drawing on his personal experiences in the wartime RAF when he flew almost 150 Typhoon sorties; many will remember his talk to the Association in October 2003 (see Newsletter No.5). The book is a study of leadership in action, courage, fear, team spirit and motivation which he and his comrades shared during the war, and it explores elements of air power, Army Co-operation, fighter ground attack and reconnaissance operations, which have been ignored in the past. Copies are available from Grub Street (020 7924 3966) for £20.00.
    Late Member John Chacksfield’s book “Sir Sydney Camm - From Biplanes & Hurricanes to Harriers” has just been published by Oakwood Press at £12.65 but can be bought direct from them (01291 650444) for £10.95. It is said to tell the aircraft and company story well but to be rather light on biography.
