There are three important new books about 74 Squadron WWII pilots.
The first is about Peter St John who fought with 74 during the Battle of Britain but sadly lost his life towards its end on 22nd October 1940. A Salute to One of the Few by Simon St John Beer is written in novel like style and is eminently readable.
