Hi all, I thought you may like to know that i'm hoping to write a book on the Handley Page Bombers in WW1. At the moment i'm compiling information, as well as buying books I spent a day last week in the Liddle Collection in Leeds, which has diaries, flight logs, photographs, interviews etc from veterans of both world wars, so already have a good starting point, and it was the main reason for my trip to RAFM Stafford.

Next stage is to go down to the IWM (i've already found what things they have there to look for), then the RAFM and follow up any other leads etc. I'm not hoping to copy what Chaz Bowyer has already done, with a complete history of the HP's, but concentrate on WW1 and include a lot of personal accounts, leaving the veterans to fill in the blanks and tell their stories (and cross referencing to make sure they fit up with what is written in official histories and investigate any discrepancies etc)
