Is there anybody out there that has a PDF copy of the above book or know where a copy can be obtained?

I am the archivist of 158 Squadron Association and we would like to include this in our archive, as Leonard Cottrell flew with the Squadron. There is a manuscript held at an Australian archive, but they will not make a PDF without the consent of the author or the holder of the rights. As Leonard Cottrell passed away more than 20 years ago I am at a loss how to approach this.

Kind regards

Many thanks for your answer Col, but this is the archive I mentioned so I am afraid it is back to the drawing board.

Or you could contact Fraser Ross, who seems to be the great-nephew of Cottrell:

Seeing as he has no copy either it seems like he would be willing to meet the AWM's criteria as family.

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for the tip and it seems that this could be the way forward. I will try to find his email address, as it was not obvious from the thread.

Kind regards
