Some time ago (NOT TOO LONG AGO) I saw an advert for a book rabout the Westland Whirlwind Aeroplane in WW2. It was reminises of Pilots and Groundcrews about this a/c.

Hi,
There was a book on the Whirlwind, porporting to be a biography of a pilot and sold as such, but it turned out to be a work of fiction. I never followed it up, so I’m not sure of the details, but in a case like that it’s common for the book to be withdrawn and pulped by the publisher for legal reasons.
This is all ferom memory, and I may be off beam!
Cheers

Whirlwind
The most recent book on the whirlwind was a 4+ publication ISBN 80-902559-6-5. It has lots of great photos but nothing from the pilots. The only other book I have come across is an old one by Victor Bingham, Whirlwind ‘The Westland Whirlwind Fighter’ Airlife publishing ISBN 1 85310 004 8. Haven’t come across any others.
