ABOUT
Dudgeon flew Hawker Harts against Iraqi Rebels in the Himalayas and took part in Blenheim Operations in North Africa in WW2.
Tony Dudgeon flew for most of the Second World War. One of the few of his Cranwell term who lived to see the end of it he had, he says, "The Luck of the Devil".
He tells of Blenheim operations in North Africa, finding himself a vital figure in this desperate five-day desert mini-Battle of Britain fought in obsolete or second line aircraft by instructors, tour expired pilots and partly trained students. He describes what really happened in 1941 at the remote base built by Britain in a bend of the Euphrates in the 1930s.
