Publisher's Synopsis
"Geoffrey Israel Abrahams was born in 1933 in the east end of London to Romanian and Russian parents. A man of character or perhaps a character in this book? What is fact, what is fiction we will never know, he certainly did his national service in the RAF and some of the stories ring true from listening to him growing up.This book was given to me, his son, eight years after his death by my mother who found it in a drawer while cleaning out his belongings. The manuscript was typed by my mother Madelaine, 36 years ago on an old-fashioned portable typewriter, the ending however was still hand written. Having read the book I decided to have it published in his honor." - Richard AbrahamsSet in 1951, National Service was part of life in the UK, a young man enters the RAF.
