The story behind the story
The more I learned of Henry Fanshaw's extraordinary life with the RNZAF, I knew he needed another book. Fanshaw was the mascot of the Royal New Zealand Air Force 75 Squadron and flew with them around the world through wartime and peace time. The adventures were plentiful and not all of them were dangerous, some were downright mischievous.
