Spitfires in Japan - From Farnborough to the Far East. a Memoir

'Boy' Bouchier, who died in 1979, was both a remarkable 'soldier's soldier' and a 'diplomat's diplomat', combining battlefield courage and endurance with great leadership skills and a keen understanding of human nature. This long-awaited memoir has been skilfully edited for publication by Dorothy Britton (Lady Bouchier).
