A fascinating Royal Air Force log book revealing the secrets of World War II's forgotten heroes as well as a"rogues gallery" of blacklisted personnel has been unearthed.
If features operational information relating to aircraft maintenance, weather, and routes - but also includes personal, and often comical, details of the people involved. But even then, one is comically branded a"slow-witted nincompoop" while another was punished for"riotous behavior" and damaging an aircraft.
Ben Jones, of Mullock's Specialist Auctioneers, which is handling the sale, said:"The ADU was a vital resource operation for the RAF."As such, an ADU pilot had to be perhaps the most adaptable flyer during the war. One day they could be piloting a Spitfire, and the next a Wellington Bomber. "This diary will doubtless yield much new and vital information about the operations of the RAF at a crucial period.
"Much of the content relates to the weather, aircraft maintenance, faults etc., but there appears much information in regards to the movement of the varying aircraft, also some reference as to the routes.Further extracts from the RAF log book reveal the personalities behind the pilots as they detailed the exploits and sometimes unflattering opinions of their fellow servicemen.
