A family member, Lionel Viggers, was a air training cadet during the second World War in Florida. Sadly he died during training and is buried in a beautifully maintained RAF cemetery in Arkadia, Florida. I would be very interested to hear of any information regarding the cadet training in Florida. I have found the title of a book 'RAF Wings over Florida: Memories of World War 11 British Air Cadets' by Will Largent. However, when I have tried to obtain the book - Amazon, Waterstones, it seems to be out of print. Does anyone know where I could perhaps purchase a copy? Many thanks!
