'Wight Air Wrecks' by Andy Gilliam
If you can find a copy, 'Wight Air Wrecks' by
Andy Gilliam is the go to book for air accidents on the Isle of Wight.
Well written, comprehensive and fascinating to read.
Wight Air Wrecks seeks
to chronicle the military aircraft that, from the early pioneering
flights of local manufacturers such as J S White and Samuel Saunders of
Cowes through the wartime conflicts and up to the present day, have
crashed either onto the Island or into its coastal waters; and to
provide a tribute to the triumph and tragedy that goes hand in hand with
prototype development,test flying and the savagery of modern air
warfare. The work seeks to achieve a balance between a dry statistical
monologue and a personalised insight into modern local history.
Available on Amazon and eBay - but some are at
crazy prices so shop around !
