"Flying" magazine from November 1942

Fri Dec 25, 2009 9:02 pm

Does anyone here have a copy of the US magazine 'Flying' that was dated November 1942?

I noted a listing for it on ebay which states there's an article by an RNZAF chap called D.L. Jones about his escape from java.

I'm not really keen to purchase the whole magazine as I'm sure others out there would want it to fill a gap in their own collection, but I'd love to see a scan of the RNZAF article if anybody here has a copy please?

Dave, it would appear that Challenge Publications' own Michael O'Leary has retold at least a portion of Sgt. Pilot Jones' tale in an article entitled, "Shining Stars", published in two parts in Air Classics in 2001. Here's a link to the story in case you're interested:
