Virtue Mine Honour - Dr John Holliday

Two days before the start of the Second World War, the grandson of a Kenovay family was called up by the RAF. At the age of 24, Charles McLean became a Pilot Officer with 217 Squadron flying out of St Eval in Cornwall. Tragically, he went missing in action over the Channel during operations, and was never recovered. A collection of letters and photographs given to An Iodhlann by his family forms the basis of this book, providing an engaging and deeply personal account of a young man's life in the RAF in the first two years of the war. An Iodhlann Press, 2021, 161 pages.
