Sherlock's Squadron: The Incredible True Stories of the Unsung RAF Heroes of World War Two This book tells the remarkable story of John "Sherlock" Holmes, a young RAF pilot who flew with 196 Squadron during World War II. Despite being told he wouldn't join the RAF, Holmes pursued his dream and went on to have a harrowing and humorous experience with his crew and the Stirling Bomber. Through extensive research and contact with relatives, Steve Holmes has uncovered a unique and personal insight into the lives of these young pilots. The book is verified by official records and preserved navigators' and pilots' log books, making it a comprehensive and compelling account of World War II from a previously untold perspective. With a deep understanding of the period, Holmes brings to life the experiences of these unsung heroes, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history.
