Flight 777
Colvin, Ian Goodhope, 1912-2013
Book
On 1 June 1943 Flight 777, a Douglas DC-3, en route from Lisbon to Britain, was shot down over the Bay of Biscay by German aircraft. Among the dead was the actor Leslie Howard, who had returned from Hollywood to England to help the British war effort. Also on board was Howard's tax adviser, Alfred Chenhalls, who smoked cigars and looked remarkably like Winston Churchill. Did the Germans believe that Churchill was on board Flight 777? Ian Colvin carried out an exhaustive investigation into the incident, including interviewing former Luftwaffe personnel and this book is the result of his endeavours.
