RAF History Books by Tom Docherty
Under the Wire Bill Ash lost his US citizenship to join the RAF (RCAF 411 Sqdn) while America was still neutral in 1940. He flew Spitfires in combat in 1941 and was shot down over France in 1942. He crash-landed and was helped by the French Resistance, eventually falling into the hands of the Gestapo in Paris where he was tortured for refusing to give away the names of his helpers.
He was then sent to a series of POW camps, including Stalag Luft III, made famous by The Great Escape. He helped to lead major tunnel breakouts in camps in Germany, Poland and Lithuania before finally escaping in the last days of the war. He is still alive and well, living in London where he remained after the war and was awarded the MBE for his escape activities.
Sometimes very funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, Bill describes the humour and humanity that helped ordinary people achieve extraordinary things during the conflict that shaped our history.

Hamilton Project – self-employment support for ex-service personnel, veterans and their families
Ever thought about running your own business? Your service background has given you a range of skills that can be an excellent foundation for self-employment - self-discipline, reliability, determination, to mention just a few. The Hamilton Project is a business support programme that will help you apply these skills in a business setting. Established in memory of Richard Hamilton, who served with the 21 SAS before he died tragically in a canoeing accident, it provides access to on-line business education, workshops and an e-mentoring programme, and, if you are based in Oxfordshire, we have funding from the County Council for you to take part.
Want to know more? Please contact Dr Tracey Marr at Communities in Business Ltd.
