By Henry 'Hank' Adlam
From Baird Maritime:
Flying 21 different types of aircraft from the land and eight different aircraft carriers, the author packed a lot of experience into his eight year flying career. He also flew and fought in the Atlantic, Arctic, Mediterranean, Far East and Pacific theatres of war.
He led a charmed life compared with so many of his comrades who were killed in action or in the always dangerous deck landings.
While an intensely personal account, it still give the wider background to his experiences as a rather irresponsible young officer. His talents as a descriptive writer are strong. His recollection of wartime life, more than fifty years after the events described, are powerful but in perspective.
These kinds of personal memoirs are particularly valuable.
