'THE GREATEST SQUADRON OF THEM ALL': TWO VOLUME SET
by David Ross

The Definitive History of 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron, Royal Auxillary Air Force. It was at the height of the Battle of Britain that the Commanding Officer of RAF Hornchurch, Group Captain "Boy" Bouchier described 603 as "perhaps the greatest squadron of them all". Volume One covers the period from their formation as a light bomber unit in October 1925 until the end of 1940. Volume Two details the 603 story through 1941 and on to the squadron's part in the siege of Malta, anti-shipping strikes by its Beaufighters, and operations against V2 launch sites. After the war, 603 Squadron re-equipped with Spitfires and then Vampire jets prior to disbandment in 1957. Re-formed in 1999, the squadron's personnel served in TELIC, the British contribution to Operation Iraqi Freedom, in the Spring of 2003. The set is co-authored by Bruce Blanche and William Simpson.

THE WINGED LIFE: A PORTRAIT OF ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY, POET AND AIRMAN
by Richard Rumbold and Lady Margaret Stewart

This book sheds light on the life and ideas of a complex, gifted, and fascinating individual; a man whose life was packed with adventure, both in the realms of action and in the realms of thought; who was pioneer airman, writer, poet, philosopher, administrator, mathematician, scientist and practical inventor. Secondly, and in so doing, to say something about that relatively new discovery - flying; about the psychology of the airman; and about the beauty and interest of his profession.
