John Russell Collins

Mike Collins was just a toddler when his father Royal Air Force Squadron Leader John 'Jack' Russell Collins was dive-bombing enemy targets in his Hawker Typhoon over France. He discovered more about Jack's story after conducting his own research, which he later turned into a book entitled 'Discovering My Father'. Here he shares the story.
