Subsequently the Dorset Wings for Victory campaign set out to achieve a similar success for the RAF. Creasey was nominated co-Hon. Publicity Secretary (from his address at 'Cattistock', Fernlea Avenue, Ferndown, Wimborne, Dorset) together with T.F.E. Jakeman of Weymouth. The pamphlet is sub-titled 'Vivid true Stories of epic Flights by the RAF'. A fragile item and a rare survival.
