Celebrity Review

BILL BAILEY, the actor, comedian and musician has gone public on his own website about the book, so I reckon its safe to tell you more!
We were delighted when Bill's PA emailed and told us that Bill had not only read the book but had found it a "gripping tale". Bill's website now carries an item about the book which you can read at www.billbailey.co.uk - see Latest News.
However I will also repeat it here -

You may be aware that Bill Bailey has written a book. But it's not the Bill Bailey you're thinking of, nor is it his doppelganger/reflection in a highly-polished cheese counter. The Bill in question is Sergeant Bill Bailey, who flew bombers during World War II, and has recently published Alone I Fly, an account of his experiences.
The sole survivor of a disastrous bombing mission in North Africa, Bill spent days alone in the desert awaiting rescue. Later serving on several other unusual posts, and flying in many more dangerous missions, he managed to survive through his determination and ingenuity.
A vivid and honest account of his truly extraordinary experience, this is a unique and memorable book which deserves to reach a wider audience. But, I hear you ask, is there any reason, besides authorial name, that it should be mentioned here?
Well, yes. Bill read the book himself and loved it, finding it gripping, and a fascinating picture of wartime life, and wanted to use this opportunity to encourage you to check it out. So why not show your continuing, unprejudiced support for Bill Baileys of all varieties by visiting Sgt. Bailey's
website, and ordering yourself a copy.

So, if that again does not reinforce what a fantastic achievment Bill's book is then I don't know what will!

So get back to Aloneifly and get your copy now!

Aviation forums find Alone I Fly!

Thanks to John who left comments on the previous posting, the book has been discovered by another audience! He is a member of an aviation forum (UBI.com) for aircraft simulation games.
After heaping praise on Bill's story it generated some interest and now there are a few more readers out there who will have to interrupt their computer games as they wont be able to put the book down!
