The King's Crew: The Unit History of No. 14 Squadron (City of Gisborne) Air Training Corps

Rex's latest 2014 work The King's Crew is the 460 page illustrated Unit History of No. 14 Squadron (City of Gisborne) Air Training Corps. This has 351 illustrations, charts and tables and is one of a very few Air Training Corps unit histories written since the ATC was founded by AIRCDRE John Chamier in WWII. It is perhaps the most complete and comprehensive ATC unit history published to date. Given the national development history of the ATC in this country hasn't been published as a book since 1963, I included chapters on the UK genesis of the ATC as well as on the early development in New Zealand. Uniquely, the ebook has a companion multimedia film King's Crew. This is sofar available only as a download in ".pptx" file format, and hence cannot be listed on Amazon.

The King's Crew Multimedia Film Edition
King's Crew is the multimedia film edition of the 14 Squadron ATC Unit History book The King's Crew. The film edition complements the book.
The Ebook+Film Unit History
This combined-media approach produces a unique audio, visual and written development history of an Air Training Corps (ATC) squadron i.e. Number 14 Squadron City of Gisborne.
The dual unit history was five years in research and production. The film runs for fifty minutes on a PC, laptop, tablet or video projector. The written history is a 460 page ebook. King's Crew is certified by the NZFC as a New Zealand animated multimedia film.
The King's Crew film is narrated with a musical score and 142 aviation clips. It includes the complete 1941-2014 Honour Roll as well as access to extensive photo and memorabilia collections covering the squadron and the ATC proud history. There are several compelling sections including the Bomber Command anthem Lie in the Dark and Listen, included by permission of Noel Coward's estate, as well as a rendition of the long-lost (and profane) RAF WWII ditty Job Bunt.
Proceeds from the sale of both editions of The Kings Crew are donated to the Air Training Corps via ATCANZ. This is a registered charity to which donations are tax deductible.
