[Leica] IMGS: My Father

[Peter Dzwig]

Tina,

Lovely shots. Debden was one of our local fighter bases in the war. It's just
possible he was one of the pilots my mother watched fighting overhead when she
was a kid.

There's a shot of some of the Eagle Squadron pilots in front of a Spit down the
right hand side.

Anyway he must have been a really good pilot with a DFC and all that he did later.

Bet it made Father's Day for you

Regards,

Peter
