AVM Alan White has written a book about his time in the RAF. This is due to be on the shelves in June 2009. He covers the years 1954 to 1987 with warts and all, from arriving on his first (Hunter) squadron with an embarrassing OCU rating in air gunnery of "Below Average", through an interesting time in the Far East on Hunters, a staff job in Aden at the height of the terrorist campaign there, two tours on Lightnings, command of RAF Leuchars, Deputy Commander of RAF Germany and finally as Commandant of the staff college at Bracknell.
He would be delighted to hear from anyone who might be remotely interested in having a copy directly from the publishers at a discount. And he would be particularly glad to hear from anyone who served with him on 5 Sqn, 11 Sqn and at Leuchars - whether interested in the book or not! His contact email address is roberts.leithen@btinternet.com |
