[edit] Novel featuring the Comet

For anyone interested in the Comet's use after D-Day I can recommend Peter Elstob's Warriors for the Working Day. Although a novel, the book is drawn from Elstob's own experiences, first on Shermans and then Comets.

There's an obituary for the author (he died in 2002) here: Soldier scribe relished risk, misadventure Reading it, I suspect he would warrant a Wiki article himself. Ian Dunster 15:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
