Acknowledgements

There have been literally hundreds of people around the world who have helped in both small and large ways with Sprog since the first words were written in 2006. There are four I would especially like to salute for their assistance, and their service:

Bob Middleton, navigator, 431 (Iroquois) Squadron.

Al Wallace, air gunner, 419 (Moose) Squadron, and Kriegie, Stalag Luft III.+

Jeff Jeffery, DFC, pilot, 432 (Leaside) Squadron.+

Halifax Aircraft Association

Halifax NA 337

Lloyd Wright, DFC, pilot, 424 (Tiger) Squadron.+

Halifax Aircraft Association

Halifax NA 337

+ Deceased.

Additionally, my friends group of Lindy Oughtred, Ted Barris, Ellin Bessner, and Phil Alves.

My superb editor, Jeremy Lucyk, and publisher David Stover, who rather than throwing me out of their office when I boldly walked in and said “Publish my novel?”, instead asked “What is it about?”
