Product Description
The world of aviation has produced an amazing collection of ghostly tales, supernatural events, and unexplained happenings: phantom aircrew and spectral aircraft on long-deserted airfields; prophetic warnings from beyond the grave; relentless spirits apparently drawn back to the places of their death. Now, for the first time, renowned aviation author Jack Currie examines these stories and legends objectively and in detail. "Echoes in the Air" is also illustrated with historical material and specially commissioned photos of some of the haunted airfields. Squadron leader Jack Currie joined the RAF at the outbreak of war in 1939, trained in the U.S., and completed his first tour (30 missions) as a bomber pilot on Lancasters. He later flew as an instructor in Halifax bombers, trained to fly gliders, and ended the war flying Mosquitoes with the Pathfinder force. He was awarded the DFC in 1944 and retired from the RAF thirty years later. Jack Currie died in 1996; Echoes in the Air is his final work.

Excellent reading on the subject October 13, 2002
The late Wing Cdr (RAF) Currie succeeds in telling several stories about WW2 airmen apparitions in a way that moves you to the places where they happened, and you finish the book touched, with a sense of pity for the ones who left so violently and so young. I guess the author now has occupied his place among the heroes whose contacts he so well described in his book. Highly recommended.
