RAF memoir
by Fred Hitchcock

Escapades of an RAF airman in the UK and Egypt in WW2
“The most entertaining book I have ever read!” is how one reader recently described this amusing autobiography. A well-deserved accolade for this splendidly written account of the life and times of a boy from the Kent town of Hythe who grew up between the wars, served in the RAF before and during WW2 and has lived in Egypt and France as well as the UK in the years since.

Never taking itself seriously and full of candid revelations about the amourous triumphs and disasters of his youth, and the trials and tribulations of his later years, Fred's book is sure to strike many a familiar chord with members of his own generation as well as disclosing to younger generations what sort of mischief their parents or grandparents were getting up to during the wartime years!
