Author 'Lancaster Target' (1977), 'Mosquito Victory' (1983), 'The Augsburg Raid' (1987), 'Wings Over Georgia' (1988) Educated Lower School of John Lyon, Harrow. ARP driver 1940, RAF 1941-1964, Civil Defence Officer Notts 1965-1969, Tutor Civil Defence College 1975-1986. H.U.Smith. August 1987. Received from Jack Csssidy, Tony's Navigator during most of WW2, a Copy of Tony's Book, Lancaster Target. - May 2001.
In an e-Mail received from Sandra Boudrou in December 2015, she included the following Commentary on Squadron Leader "Jack" Currie:-
Artist and Author, Squadron Leader Jack Currie (1921-96)
Jack Currie's time with both 12 and 626 Squadrons are described in his popular book 'Lancaster Target'. He arrived at Snelland Halt by LNER train en route to RAF Wickenby on Sunday June 27th 1943.
Currie's first operation was as second pilot to one of the squadron's more experienced pilots, F/Lt Benjamin McLaughlin DFC, on a bombing operation to Cologne on 3rd July 1943. His first operation with his own crew was a mine-laying operation in the Bay of Biscay in ED414 (Easy 2) on 6th July 1943.
An author of highly successful books about the RAF's bomber offensive during the second world war including The Augsburg Raid Battle, Under the Moon, and Round the Clock (co-wrote with Philip Kaplan).
He also wrote three books about his own wartime experiences - Wings Over Georgia, Mosquito Victory, and Lancaster Target the last of which brought him to the notice of an even wider audience when it was turned into an award-winning BBC television documentary presented by Jack himself.
Two further television programmes followed including a fascinating investigation into airfield ghosts. However it was as an artist that John Anthony Logan Currie began his career.
Jack Currie was born in Sheffield but brought up in Harrow Middlesex where after leaving school he became cartoonist on the Harrow Observer. On occasion his cartoons even made the pages of national publications such as Punch.
Thrilled by aeroplanes seen at pre-war air pageants Jack Currie immediately volunteered for aircrew although while awaiting acceptance he served as an ARP stretcher bearer and ambulance driver during the London blitz.
Finally in 1941 he was selected for pilot training under the Arnold scheme in which RAF pupil pilots were trained in America by the United States Army Air Corps.
He later described his flying training experiences in his book Wings over Georgia (1989). He declined a commission to remain in America as a flying instructor and returned to the UK as a sergeant-pilot with C Flight of 12 Squadron to take part in the Allies' bomber offensive over Europe - which by 1943 was building towards its climax.
Lancaster Target published in 1977 is a brilliant evocation of those times and the men whose bravery finally won through. There were however many brushes with death.
On his fifth operation to Hamburg on August 2 1943 Jack's Lancaster was turned upside down and into a spin in cumulonimbus cloud.
As it fell both ailerons were ripped off and it was only through a combination of skill and brute strength that he succeeded in bringing his aircraft home using only three engines and rudder.
His CO immediately recommended him for a Conspicuous Gallantry Medal which - almost unbelievably - was turned down. On completion of his first operational tour however he was awarded the DFC.
In the last days of the war in Europe Jack was posted to the Pathfinder Forces 1409 Meteorological Flight in which he flew Mosquitos.
This period of his career is described in his book Mosquito Victory (1983). Jack Currie remained with the RAF after the war receiving a permanent commission and served at RAF Lindholme West Kirby in Cyprus and at Syerston. He retired from the RAF in 1964.
His work as Civil Defence Officer for Newark lasted from 1964 until the end of the decade when the government closed down all but the county tier of CD operations.
In 1975 he moved to Easingwold near York as Civil Defence lecturer at the Home Defence College.
He finally retired in 1986. Nothing however could diminish Jack's love for the Lancaster bomber in which he had served during the war.

General Notes: A very uneventful (except for numerous illnesses) childhood saw him attend Virginia Primary School and Church of England Grammar School, E. Brisbane.
On leaving School he spent a brief period in an Engineering Apprenticeship, and an even briefer period helping his Parents on their Pineapple farm at Montville, North of Brisbane. Youthful restlessness caused him to obtain employment in the Northern Territory of Australia, firstly on Soudan Station as a Storeman/Book-keeper, thence for the next three years he was employed in a number of positions in Tenant Creek in the N.T. His range of employment included P.M.G. Linesman, Assistant Assayer and Assayer in a couple of Gold Mines, Enterprise & Nobles Knob. He was also employed as a Crane Driver at Peko and as a "Grease Monkey" in one of the local garages. On his return to Q'land he continued to follow the Motor trade in Palmwoods [his first Son was Born in Nambour] and Brisbane; and for a Year in Barcaldine, where his younger Son Gregory was born. Also when he and his Family moved on to Sydney in N.S.W in 1959, he continued to work in the Motor and Engineering trades. After operating a number of businesses the Family returned to Brisbane, shortly before the death of Howard's Father. In 1969 they travelled to England where they stayed for 4 years. In England he worked as a Purchasing Officer for two firms, in one of which he was responsible for Stores and Materials Control. The Family returned to Sydney, Australia in 1973. Howard was then employed as Purchasing Officer for Plessey Australia, and subsequently as Production "Trouble Shooter" for four years. During this time, he and his Wife, Margaret had been building up a Portfolio of Residential Properties until in 1977 they were both able to retire from their respective Employers and work full time in their own business. About this time they founded Howmeg Investments Pty. Limited, a Property Investment business. About the same time, Howard became a Licenced Builder. From that time onward their Efforts were directed into making the Business successful. Their younger Son Gregory and his Wife Fiona became a part of the Business in about 1980. The Business has provided for both Families since that time.
