Ian Hawkins, of Bacton, Suffolk, became interested in the history of the Second World War as a young boy growing up surrounded by operational airfields and military installations in East Anglia. This is his fifth book about the war during which his father, a Royal Navy destroyer commander, and an uncle, a Royal Air Force squadron leader, were both killed in action. A former civil engineer, he sustained very severe head injuries in an axe attack by a crazed alcoholic shortly after arriving in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in December 1976 to work on a tunnelling project. He is now confined to a wheelchair and has had to learn to write left-handed as his right side and both legs are paralysed.
