Book excerpt: 'Then we were up in the air; I tried to move around but was restrained. I really was special - they even took me flying!' William certainly was a special goat and here he tells his story of the time he spent looking after his boys of 609 (West Riding) Squadron of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force from 1941-1945. With a little help from Brian Waite, who interjects here and there to fill us in on some of the details, we get an amazing picture of what this special, morale-boosting creature experienced as the official mascot and the highest ranking officer to serve with 609 (West Riding) Squadron. Brian Waite was born in Grantham and was educated at the local King's School and at Loughborough College of Physical Education. Following a decade teaching in Kent, he was commissioned into the Royal Air Force. He commanded 609 (WR) Squadron as a Reservist, where he 'found' William. He is married to Louise and lives in North Yorkshire.

Download or read book Dowding s Eagles written by Norman Franks and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five veteran airmen share stories of their experiences during World War II’s Battle of Britain in this unique history. The Battle of Britain fought by The Few, as Churchill famously called them, will remain a legendary feat of arms for centuries to come. Sadly, there remain only a handful today who can tell their stories so this collection of personal accounts is extremely timely. The Author has over the years gathered the stories of twenty-five survivors and in Dowding’s Eagles he brings these stirring stories together. Each account describes the actions and impressions of the individuals who fought lonely battles against a numerically superior enemy. The odds were stacked against The Few. Over 500 pilots were killed in action during the summer of 1940, and this book is as much about those who gave their lives for their country as those who risked everything but managed to survive. Together with photographs of the men and their aircraft, this is an inspiring book.
