Della Judd

Daughter and granddaughter duo publish powerful memoir based on real wartime diaries and letters A remarkable and deeply personal wartime memoir that sheds light on the quiet heroism of an ordinary London boy caught in extraordinary times. Air Raids and RAF Days, co-authored by historian Helen Allinson and executive coach Della Judd), brings to life the real wartime experiences of their father and grandfather, John Teague. At just 17 years old, John was walking the bombed-out streets of London during the Blitz, helping to re-home civilians left devastated by air raids. Later, he would join the RAF as a wireless operator mechanic, having been denied his dream of becoming a pilot due to poor eyesight. The memoir is a rich blend of John’s own diary entries and letters exchanged with his family, pieced together to reveal two parallel stories: his personal journey through wartime Europe, and the anxious love and support of his parents back home.
