FAMILIAR VOICES By Frank Harbord First published in 1998 and now in its second edition, "Familiar Voices" is about the author's wartime experiences flying Blenheim bombers of No. 2 Group Bomber Command in the UK and Malta in 1940 and 1941 and then in India and Burma after the entry of Japan into the war. Shiphunting in the Mediterranean; desperate times in Burma and the Far East; as aircrew in the Bristol Blenheim Frank Harbord cheated death many times and saw action throughout World War II. As a navigator, seated behind the perspex nose cone of the Blenheim, Frank was uniquely positioned to witness these historic events. Later sections of the book also cover attacks on shipping in order to cut off supplies to Rommel in North Africa during the terrible siege of Malta and service against the Japanese in Burma and India. The book took more than 3 years to write and research and the author checked out the factual details by reference to the public records office and other official bodies. Illustrations include many contemporary photos and documents. Mr Harbord passed away in 2009
