ERRATUM TO NO 7 BOMBER SQUADRON IN WORLD WAR II
the book was published earlier this year and since its publication I have had a few letters from contributors with corrections and additions. I would also like to apologise to Doug Robinson, David Cheetham and Fred Wills (all 7 Sqn) for the errors in the book. My publisher tells me all will be corrected in the next print run but in the meantime I wish to provide the erratum for those who may have already purchased a copy (and noted the errors!). I am extremely grateful to all the 7 Sqn Association members who helped me with material for the book. I would be grateful for feedback corrections and additions to the book from anyone who wishes to contact me. (Constructive criticism also welcomed!).
Yours aye
Tom Docherty
