Hugh: Wow! Reminds me of Boyington's famous (cynical) sentiment: Show me a hero & I'll show you a bum.
Crooks' book is advertised on ABE.com; mine came from The Book Shop (10 commercial Rd. Kirkstall, Leeds) in a couple of weeks via Roy & Pippa Brook. don't know if they have another copy but they're at:
Book.Shop@btinternet.com
Mention me as a happy customer.
