Description

Paul Sortehaug’s “The Wild Winds” is the history of 486(NZ) Squadron during WWII which initially flew night fighter Hurricanes and then for most of the war the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest. The book contains a large number of photographs, many of which have been previously unseen. Also included are a number of appendices, including claims, squadron aircraft profiles, and even a very amusing “line shoot” section which includes instances of some of 486 personnel’s humorous anecdotes.
