Dogfight. The Battle of Britian by Dr Adam Claasen.

 

I'm currently writing a review for Adam Claasen's Dogfight. The Battle of Britain which focuses on the antipodean contribution to Britain's defence. All going well the one for Sabretache will appear in the December issue. In the interim, have a read of this review which highlights some of the important aspects of another important book in the Battle of Britain literary canon.

 

BTW. I think it is a good book but wait for the reviews for full details. Available from Australian and New Zealand booksellers, or direct from Exisle Publishing. I have had no probs with online or phone ordering.

John Dallas Crossman

The 8 October 2012 edition of www.thisissussex.co.uk published an article on Pete Wheeler, a local man who honours John Dallas Crossman, the Australian pilot who died in action on 30 September 1940. John's Spitfire crashed at Tablehurst Farm, Forest Row and, each year, Pete places a token of remembrance at the Forest Row War Memorial.
