520    John Mitchell had a remarkable career.  An RAF Volunteer 
       Reserve officer, he was mobilized on the outbreak of war 
       and just missed going to join a Battle Squadron in France 
       where he would have undoubtedly been killed.  He was 
       instead posted to 58 Squadron flying Whitleys, surviving a
       tour of operations in 1940/41 including ditching in the 
       North Sea.  Awarded the DFC, he was sent to the US, 
       becoming involved in the development of the first 
       navigation training simulators with the famous Link 
       Trainer factory.  There, he was awarded the US Legion of 
       Merit, signed by Harry Truman.Returning to the UK in 1942,
       he was personally selected to join the crew of Winston 
       Churchill’s private aircraft, one of the early 
       prototype Avro Yorks called Ascalon.  For two years he 
       navigated Churchill to conferences around the world &
       ndash; from North Africa to Italy, the Middle East to 
       Moscow, including the famous Teheran and Yalta 
       conferences.  He also flew ‘General Lyon’ (aka
       HM George VI) on several occasions for which he received 
       the LVO – an order that was personally in the gift 
       of the sovereign for services rendered.  After the war he 
       enjoyed an eventful career as an air attaché, 
       including an intelligence posting to Moscow and was senior
       navigation officer for the long range exercises over the 
       Pole in the converted Lincoln, Aries III. His is an 
       exceptional story, told with wit and verve to acclaimed 
       author Sean Feast who has added his usual authoritative 
       and informed insights.  A worthy successor to Sean’s
       latest book A Pathfinder’s War. [Elib]
