I expect it to arrive in the mail tomorrow. See below.
Should be really interesting.
Over the years I have read bits and pieces and seen the doco's but this book should put it all together.

Hey Uncle.
The book arrived about half an hour ago.
I had a quick sticky and the first photo I find is a pic of the PO being bombed.
