Synopsis

Taking the wings of the morning

About this title

From the Inside Flap

'Taking the Wings of the Morning' is the true story of one man's search to discover the fate of a missing relative. Robert Body's 17 years of intense research into the disappearance of Hudson FK790 and its pilot Flt Lt J W Menzies DFC unearths some astonishing discoveries. Yet the author's efforts are plagued by the culture of secrecy surrounding the Special Duties Squadrons of World War 2 and the reseach process is long and complex.

The central theme of the book is the link between this ongoing process of research and the gradual unravelling of a bareley believable set of coincidences surrounding Flt Lt Menzies' mysterious vanishing. Robert Body's tone is positive and tenacious and he offers both advice and encouragement to anyone embarking on a similar project. He demostrates the fruits of his labours, namely the warm relationships he developed during his search and shows that Menzies and his crew were not a vain sacrifice.
