| Responses Eric Clarkson, No. 192 Squadron Navigator/Radar Operator: Its a good read ... None of us lesser mortals could have really appreciated the value of the work we were doing as part of the whole team. Werner Mihan, Luftwaffe Ground Staff Your book arrived just right for my 75th birthday and prevented me from celebrating it was so fascinating. It answered many of the questions that were puzzling me as a result of my own research. David Leete, WW2 TRE scientist The book is a very fitting tribute to the many 'Unknowns' who did their bits in the backrooms, out on the fields, and in the air...it is a very readable account of all we did. The whole presentation [of the book] is a model for how it should be done. Vic Flowers, No.80 Wing/100 Group ...another excellent book which I have enjoyed reading immensely. I admire the way you have introduced the various airborne countermeasure 'devices' and their uses. I had no idea there were so many. It was a 'cat and mouse' game with the Germans and my thoughts go to the 'backroom boys' who did such a tremendous job in designing, producing, installing and training aircrews in their use so quickly. Mrs Judith Gass (daughter of Norman Cordingly, Wing Commander [Radar], No.100 Group) My father would have been thrilled that the story is being told so well, and I am sure your detailed research has paid off. Alan H. Thomsett, Pilot, 1473 Flight/No. 192 Squadron I have just read your 'Even When the Sparrows are Walking' and found it of great interest and an invaluable follow-up to 'Beam Benders'. Ron Johnson, Navigator No. 223 Squadron A recent wedding anniversary gift has introduced me to your book 'Even When the Sparrows are Walking'. As an ex-No.223 Squadron Navigator I can only say what a magnificent effort and one which has filled in may of the not inconsiderable gaps in my No. 100 Group knowledge.
