Mosquito Down by Frank Dell
Those of you who were part of the RAFES will know Frank well. Later the RAFES became part of ELMS and Frank became one of our Patrons. His story is of flying a Mosquito of 692 Squadron on an operation to Berlin when he was brought down by a German night fighter over the Duisberg/Munster area. His navigator was killed but he landed safely by parachute.
He walked at night into Holland where he met up with the Dutch Resistance. Frank still keeps in touch with the families. It is a story of hiding and moving onto different safe-houses continuously in Holland and the help given him by the brave Dutch helpers. We also learn of what happened to the helpers. Eventually Frank returned to England.
After the war Frank flew with BEA and became their Chief Pilot (technical). I enjoyed this book and not just because Frank is a good friend.
