Per Noctem Per Diem. The Story of 24 Squadron - S.A.A.F (1st Ed, Dec 1961)

Written By E.N. Tucker and P.M.J. McGregor and Published by 24 Squadron Album Committee. As can be seen in the pictures, the dust jacket is rather worn and torn, but the book itself is still bright and tight. The book consists of a number of maps and pictures, and is of great historical value.

A Foreword by General Sir Pierre van Ryneveld:

"This book is called 'The Story of No. 24 Squadron. South African Air Force'. The story part lies in the adventures, the narrow squeaks, the sand storms and flies, the fun and humour and teasing and ragging and everything else that goes to make up the group life of a small community of of healthy and virile young South Afrticans imbeud with surpassing devotionto their branch of the fighting force. The rest is a chapter of history, a history not only of the 24 Squadron but one epitomising that of the whole South African Air Force, and written not by an historian of later times but by the boys, now men, who themselves lived and made that history."
