Notă biografică

Colin Pateman served for 32 years in Sussex Police, a qualified Home Office Instructor in all Police Dog roles. In addition, the specific search dog requirements with the armed services saw him trained by the Royal Engineers, and deployed as a search advisor in both his home county and Nationally. Oliver Clutton-Brock grew up in Lincoln where he developed a keen interest in the RAF. After attending prep school at The Craig in Windermere (1953-58) and then Shrewsbury School (1958-63), he had a number of jobs before joining the Civil Service in London. After researching for his first book, Massacre over the Marne (1994), he continued with research for a book on RAF Bomber Command prisoners of war (2003) and also one on RAF evaders (2009). Hobbies are, inter alia, collecting RAF signed covers, and old glasses and weights.
