Turning Back the Pages 1993-1923

Book excerpt: Turning Back the Pages 1993-1923 is an autobiography to delight readers. It narrates the escapades of a boy born in 1918, raised during the 'dirty thirties', and who later became a bomber pilot in World War 2. Open it and enter life in England when the sound of an aircraft passing overhead would cause people to run outside to get a glimpse of this new technological wonder, and privately owned automobiles were a rarity. Some of the stories are serious but many will bring the reader to tears of laughter, particularly those relating the high jinks that aircrew got up to in their time off.
