Personnel Corner Tim grew up in central Pennsylvania, making him a Penn State football fan from birth. Placing his faith in Christ for salvation as a young boy, Tim came to realize the need for aviation ministry when his parents became New Tribes missionaries. Sue grew up in south-central Michigan in a Christian family. She too came to know Jesus Christ as Savior at a young age. They met while attending New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, MI. Shortly thereafter they married with missions as their life goal. Jessie, Drew, Marie, and Ben round out the household, keeping life from becoming dull. Assigned as a pilot-mechanic to an overseas field-assignment, the Lord redirected the Sanfords to the New Tribes missionary training institute in Canada from 1991-2000. Today they are back in the aviation field, but now serving with the leadership team in McNeal, Arizona, USA. NTM Aviation 3870 Davis Road McNeal, AZ 85617

    20. WWII Aviation Booklist: Aviation Book Reviews Of British Pilots During World War
    Booklist. Bader's story makes for one of the best aviation biographiesavailable. He lost both legs in a flying accident in 1931.
    http://www.aviation-booklist.com/britpilots.html
    The following aviation book reviews on British pilots are mostly autobiographical and cover various theatres of action. Many famous aces are featured including Johnny Johnson, Laddie Lucas, Bob Tuck, Douglas Bader etc... However, many lesser pilots are included as well. The biographies also represent pilots who flew for Coastal, Fighter, and Bomber Commands.
    Allen, Dizzy Fighter Squadron:1940-1942
    London: Granada, 1979, 206 pp ( pb)
    ISBN: 583 13416 5 This one focuses primarily on Allen's Battle of Britain memoirs. Although capably written, the book is less than inspiring. Still, I'd recommend picking it up if you happen to come across a copy. Bader, Douglas Reach For The Sky
    Paul Brickhill, Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, rpt., 2001, 320 pp ( pb)
    ISBN: 1 5575 0222 6 Paul Brickhill's classic biography of Britain's most famous pilot, the legendary Douglas Bader has lost none of its charm. I first read this one about 20 years ago and finally got around to re-reading it for the Booklist. Bader's story makes for one of the best aviation biographies available. He lost both legs in a flying accident in 1931. How he overcame this handicap and entered the pilot ranks of the RAF is one of the most inspiring stories of WWII. Bader is indominatable, and Brickhill clearly has a great respect for his subject. Sometimes, the author gives Bader more credit than he's due (for example, he credits Bader with creating the "finger 4" formation) but overall the praise is justified. Bader was a facinating individual, and Brickhill showcases the man to effect.
