About

Known as Pedro to his comrades and Tiggy to his family, Osgood Villiers Hanbury was a charismatic Eton schoolboy who served in the Battle of Britain. He became acting squadron leader of 260 Squadron in the Middle East and was awarded the DFC and bar for bravery. Pedro, with his pipe, moustache, upper-class accent and detached air was the archetypal public-school Englishman, but his leadership skills and care for his men commanded respect from all ranks and nationalities. He met his untimely death aged just 25.

Foreword by Sir Christopher Lee who was Pedro's intelligence officer in the Middle East.

Includes monochrome images, maps on end papers.
