Latest News

Well it was great to be part of the celebrity website - Bill Bailey - for a little while! The posting is still there buried in the archives. It didnt do too much for sales though - wrong audience I guess!

Speaking of which - sales that is - still going ok. The aviation forums mostly still support the project and it is remarkable how often the book is now mentioned in various sites. In particular AirWarfare have been great in highlighting it on their home page plus there is a site called Honour Our Vetrans which have also spotlighted the book. The book has now been posted all over the world including an order recently from Singapore.
The praise for Bill's work continues to flow with great reviews often saying its one of the best WW2 memoirs the reader has read. One day maybe Bill's vision will be realised and it will appear in your local cinema as the latest blockbuster film! If only...

Fathers day approaching so hoping that there will be some Dads on June 17th with their children to thank for Alone I Fly as an ideal gift!

Healthwise Bill has been as always fighting his illness. He had to go into hospital this week for another blood transfusion. He hates that but I am thankful to say he survived the overnight stay with his customory observations with the failings of the NHS!
He is actually working on a child friendly version of Alone I Fly although this has been interrupted recently when his laptop developed a fault. Its slow painful progress with his arthritis to use the laptop but again as always he is determined. Long may it last!!

Please do comment on the book if you have read it and if not then get back to the order page and soon you will find why it receives so many good reviews!!
