Killed in a flying accident in February 1944, Flying Officer
William Marsh left behind a personal insight into the life of a
desert flyer. Desert Flyer follows Bill Marsh from his early days
as a schoolboy, through his RAF training in England and Canada,
joins him in his first operational squadron and ultimately his life
in North Africa. Originally posted to No. 605 Squadron, Bill Marsh
was to have served in the unit in the Far East. However, fate
dictated that he was destined for the desert war. He joined No. 274
Squadron and flew Hurricane fighter/bombers against Rommels forces
in the North African desert. Graphic descriptions of Marshs
eyewitness accounts of the sinking of the Royal Navys aircraft Ark
Royal, the aerial dogfights with the Luftwaffe and Regia
Aeronautica, as well as details of his day-to-day life are all
recorded within these pages. Over 230 previously unpublished
photographs, taken by Bill Marsh, support the text. Utilizing
private journals, personal letters, photographs, and flying log
books, together with details from squadron operational record
books, the author has brought to life the words and photographs
recorded by William Marsh, the Desert Flyer.
