The Death of Prince George, Duke of Kent 1942

A new investigation to find the truth

Due out via Pen & Sword Books, Summer/autumn 2024:

A new, thorough and detailed examination of the death of the Duke of Kent in August 1942. 

Many writiers, researchers and journalists have examined the loss of the Duke, his staff and the crew of their Short Sunderland flying boat, but this I believe, is the most detailed and thorough to date.

Having identified and gathered evidence from a wide range of witnesses and sources, this book looks at whether there was a cover-up and what the likely cause was.

Hitler's RAF Collaborators

Due Spring 2024

During the Second World War large numbers of British and Commonwealth airmen were taken prisoner by the Nazi regime. Many bravely tried to escape and return home, but a small number decided to collaborate, assisting with radio propaganda, interrogations of fellow prisoners and even joining the Waffen SS.

After many months of research, this book will detail the collaboration and betrayal of this small but significant number of traitors.

The Hurricane Pilot who became a Gestapo agent:

The betrayal and treachery of an RAF Sergeant

Expected to be published for winter 2023 from Pen & Sword Books, this text will look at the little known Czechoslovak pilot Augustin Preucil, his escape to Britain and service with the RAF, before he stole a Hawker Hurricane to return to the Nazis.

Once in occupied Europe, he betrayed a large number of people while liaising with many other known traitors, leading to many people being imprisoned and dying. 

With links to those who assassinated the Reich Protector Reinhard Heyrich, this is a book worthy of any spy novel, but this is a completely true story.
