Scope and content
Typescript of 'Winged Squadrons', Beaton's written account of his wartime work for the British Ministry of Information, photographing the UK RAF. Also includes two handwritten letters to Beaton: the first letter is from Sheila le Pe'ens, in which she thanks Beaton for the cheque and suggests minor alterations to the work [31 December 1941]; the second, signed 'Shirley', informs Beaton that the author cannot send a copy of the ENN to him, as it is forbidden for it to be shown to individuals outside of the service. Encloses a drawing to provide an idea. The Polish emblem is an eagle. He is unable to find David Garnett in the Air Force list.
