Moxon's celebrated 'Monsoon' trilogy is a key work in the history of the war in the air in Burma. It tells the story of a young Hurricane pilot during and after the war. The first volume is autobiographical, and provides a first-hand illustrated account of service with 5 Squadron RAF in the Imphal Valley from 1944 onwards. The second and third volumes, through based on the author's experiences, are closer to fiction; the second giving an action-packed account of the war to the Japanese surrender, the third dealing with the reintegration of the survivors into peacetime civilian life. The complete trilogy is scarce, especially in the dustwrappers. Graham & Cole U45, V59, V58 respectively.

réf. 2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
