If you're interested in SOE, Leo Marks' book 'Between silk and cyanide' is one of the best books I've ever read.
Marks was the SOE's code-master. The book is really fascinating and beautifully written. Thank you Giles - downloaded to my Kindle and in the queue to read.

I'm currently reading Russell Brands book 'Bookey Wook'

Purity by Johnathan Franzen. Almost put it down because I could barely cope with such messed up characters but persevered because The Corrections and Freedom were so good. It was worth it, especially for the insights into Julian Assange.
Paul, after Maquis, which was terrific, I guess SOE is next. Thanks.

Aircraft in Profile Volume 10.
Just about to start on the Heinkel He219 Uhu.
Published in 1971 but still a good read for anyone into historic aviation.
