Goldfish, Caterpillars & Guinea Pigs: Accounts of Pilots and Air Crews from the Second World War

During World War 2, survival was by no means a certainty with casualties a part of everyday life. The evolution of non-established clubs was recognized as an area that boosted moral. This book tells of stories on being a ‘Goldfish’ (Lives saved by preservers and dinghies), ‘Caterpillar’ (Lives saved by parachutes) or ‘Guinea Pig’ (Lives saved by pioneering surgery).
