Mike – no worries – hope that helped!
Oxcart – sadly Doug hasnt written a book – though i keep on banging on at him to put something down! He is unique I think as he is the only person alive, as far as I know, who flew the Whirlwind fighter (on ops) AND the Hornet.
Fantastic bloke, will have a brandy with him on wednesday actually!
He did write up his memories of the Empire Air Day in ’38 when 19 got spits – turned out to involve a spy and all sorts!
Sadly, FP didnt fancy running it (fair enough) and Aeroplane have had it for over 3 years now (and been damned rude – they said they wanted to publish it but have had no contact with him for years, simply ignoring his calls and letters 😡 )
TT
Thats a crying shame, Texan- wish him all the best and buy him a drink for me- as long as you pay!!
