"A Rattle of Pebbles" available online

This is an excellent work, consisting of two Candian pilots' diaries, with annotations as to other persons mentioned, etc.

http://www.forces.gc.ca/hr/dhh/publi...ne_e.asp?cat=6

There are a number of other histories available at this site as well.

All free!

Hey, that's great!

Thanks for the link. I'm always on the lookout for good books like this, and the price can't be beaten.

Similarly, the following are available for free from the War Times Journal web site (click to view):

I downloaded and printed the book this afternoon.

The paper size is fairly small, so I printed the book two pages to a sheet (of letter-sized paper), and double-sided. Even with that, it's still a hefty tome.

Now I just need to get it bound at Kinko's.

Regards,
