I read every copy of "Combat" and "Commando" that I could get my hands on in the 60's when I was a teenager. I also discovered all the Biggles novels and books by an Australian writer whose name I have forgotten. These were the Captain Mettle series.
As a boy, I read anything I could get my hands on ! Enid Blyton or course, but also Arthur Ransome and especially the Malcolm Saville" Lone Pine" series.
If I could get my hands on the Saville books, I would read them all over again ! Sheer Bliss...a book is a good friend indeed.
