Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937. He was posted to 56 Squadron and in 1940 he served for several weeks as personal assistant to Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, before flying throughout the height of the Battle of Britain. In the spring of 1941, promoted to Acting Squadron Leader, Brooker commanded No.1 Squadron during the Blitz; for this he was awarded the D.F.C. After being posted to Singapore late in 1941, where he led Nos. 232 and 242 squadrons fighting the Japanese invasion, he was evacuated on the last flight out of Bandoeng, Java, to Australia in March 1942. For his gallantry, determination in the face of heavy odds during the fall of Singapore, Brooker was awarded a Bar to the D.F.C. In the spring of 1944, Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 123 Wing of Hawker Typhoons at RAF Thorney Island, in preparation for the liberation of Europe. Exhausted after an intensive spell of operational flying during and after D-Day, Brooker was taken off flying in July and sent to complete the Senior Staff Officers' course at the RAF Staff College. At this time, he was awarded the DSO. In January 1945 Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 122 Wing operating Hawker Tempest Vs, initially in Holland and then in Germany. In this period he was awarded a Bar to his DSO but it was an award that was made posthumously. It was from Rheine-Hopsten in Germany that Peter took off on the evening, of 16 April 1945, and failed to return, just twenty-two days from VE Day. His aircraft and his remains have never been accounted for. However, the answers to the mystery and controversy surrounding Brooker's disappearance are finally revealed in this detailed biography. AUTHOR: Malcolm Sutherland is the nephew of Wing Commander R.E.P. Brooker. Inspired by stories of his late uncle from his mother, Peter Brooker's sister, Malcolm joined the RAF at the age of 16 in 1967 with a Flying Scholarship and University Cadetship to train as a pilot. As a result of a serious accident, becoming an RAF pilot became impossible and Malcolm took a medical discharge, but he has never lost his interest in military aviation and the RAF. As the custodian of his uncle's memorabilia, he has carefully researched Peter Brooker's RAF service and life, for his family and posterity's sake. He challenges the account of Peter's disappearance written by a fellow pilot that his mother and sisters had relied on. Malcolm tells his uncle's story, one of quiet, sustained courage, responsibility and leadership and of a person who never sought but deserved the limelight. 32 b/w illustrations Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937.
