Author Information

Ken Delve spent over twenty years in the RAF, starting with the Canberra PR.9s of 39 Squadron. As the squadron historian, this led to his first book, ‘The Winged Bomb: History of 39 Squadron’. Subsequent tours were the Tornado with IX (B) and II (AC) Squadrons and as an instructor at RAF Finningley. On leaving the RAF, Ken became editor of FlyPast magazine. In June 1996, he was an organizer of ‘The Last Great Canberra Party’, a reunion of thousands of ex-Canberra personnel. Ken has continued to write, having published some forty books.
