Good afternoon Greg – I am secretary of the 10 Squadron Association and 10 days ago I was presented with a copy of AirMan Missing by Doug Evans and it had also been signed by his brother John. I thought that I would like to make mention of the book in my Report in the next Newsletter but I have discover that it is now out of print.
Are you intending to have any more printed?
I look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Peter
Hi Peter
Thanks so much for your message and your interest in Airman Missing.
It’s great to hear from 10 Squadron Association and I would have loved to have had a piece in your newsletter.
However, at the moment there are no plans for a reprint – although I have had a great deal of interest in the book.
Because of that interest I am going to look into whether we can get a reprint or second edition done. Perhaps I could keep you informed?
I’d be delighted to know what you think of John’s story – when you’ve had a chance to read it.
Regards
Greg
