The RAF and Commonwealth air crews were bound by regulations and
discipline during WWII. Survival was by no means a certainty, with
casualties becoming a part of everyday life. The evolution of
non-established clubs was recognised and regarded as an important
area within RAF history that boosted moral. The regulations flexed
to allow membership pins and badges to be worn on RAF and
Commonwealth flying uniforms. This book allows the reader to
experience a number of individual stories and understand the
relevance of being a: - 'Goldfish' (Lives saved by the use of
personal life preservers and dinghies), 'Caterpillar' (Lives saved
by parachutes) or: - 'Guinea Pig' (Lives saved by pioneering
surgery conducted by Archibald McIndoe at the Queen Victoria
Hospital Sussex) In many instances the accounts are recalled in
great detail from the official records of medals and awards. True
heroism and gallant deeds supported by original photographs create
an easy to read book, revealing areas of interest not previously
visited in this format.
