Catalina over Arctic Oceans - Wg Cdr F J French OBE DFC AFC AE
My grandfather was a pilot during WW2 and sank a UBoat from his Catalina. He was awarded a DFC and an AFC. To my delight, my edited Grandfather's memoirs will be published in November 2012 by Pen & Sword.
I am keen to tell the story of my brave grandfather, his crew (which included a Canadian) and the amazing Catalina. If you know of anyone who may be interested in the book, please let me know by PM or thru my website
regards
Tony

My grandfather worked in the San Diego factory building the Catalinas. He at one time was in charge of the crew installing the deicer boots on the wings and tail surfaces. He's dead now, but he recalled the time when he was at work and the factory loudspeaker came on to announce to the workers that one of their birds had found the Bismark for the Royal Navy / Air Force. The workers all cheered as they were not expecting such an interesting announcement.
