Colin Pateman Libros

    Colin Pateman imbuye sus narrativas con una profunda comprensión de la historia militar, extraída de más de tres décadas de experiencia como oficial de policía, incluyendo roles con perros de búsqueda especializados y como Asesor de Búsqueda Policial. Su pasión por la aviación, particularmente la Segunda Guerra Mundial, es evidente en su meticulosa investigación y su enfoque empático para capturar las historias de pilotos y tripulaciones. Pateman basa su trabajo en fuentes primarias, utilizando bitácoras de vuelo originales y entrevistas a veteranos para dar vida a relatos de primera mano de la vida en la RAF. Su dedicación a la investigación en profundidad, incluida la revelación de pruebas previamente indocumentadas en archivos, otorga una profundidad y autenticidad únicas a sus cautivadoras crónicas históricas.

      Remarkable survival stories from World War II highlight the resilience of aircrew who faced the loss of their aircraft. Featuring accounts of individuals like Captain R.L.

With over twenty gripping narratives, it sheds light on their bravery, escapes, and the gallantry awards they received.

    • Goldfish Caterpillars & Guinea Pigs

      These clubs were recognised and regarded as an important area within RAF history that boosted moral. Members were allowed pins and badges to be worn on RAF and Commonwealth flying uniforms. This book allows the reader to experience a number of individual stories and understand the relevance of being a 'Goldfish', a 'Caterpillar', or 'Guinea Pig'.

      Goldfish Caterpillars & Guinea Pigs

    • Arming for Accuracy

      'Arming for Accuracy' examines the early development of dropping aerial ordinance and Bomber Command's undertaking to create a unique member of aircrew. In many cases the duties by dedicated Bomb Aimers are recounted from their own flying logbooks. Operational flying, manning guns and accurately dropping bomb loads carried a heavy responsibility.
