The King's Crew My 2014 work The King's Crew is the 460 page illustrated Unit History of No. 14 Squadron (City of Gisborne) Air Training Corps. The book has 351 illustrations, charts and tables and is one of the 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 in book form since 1963, I included chapters on the UK genesis of the ATC as well as on the development in New Zealand and other countries.
About the Author The author Rex Bunn, is a polymath, an author and producer with eight books published, as well as films and articles. He is a 1960's cadet from the squadron. The King's Crew is a companion publication to the 2012 multimedia film King's Crew. It was developed with members of A Flight. Rex can be viewed discussing the Kings Crew film production at cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html#Ep15
The 14 Squadron Unit History This unit history was five years in research and production.
The King's Crew 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 2014-2019 sale of both editions of The Kings Crew are donated to the Air Training Corps via ATCANZ, a registered charity.
