"The Donegal Corridor", based along Lough Erne in County Fermanagh and up the Donegal coast, was a key contribution to the Allies in World War II. A place where ally soldiers trained for combat, where planes landed and refuelled and where many crashed and lost their lives.
This intriguing book brings together a collection of memories, from home and abroad, of the Donegal Corridor. Joe interviews local people, family members and former comrades. The book is beautifully illustrated with pictures of many of these lost heroes, their aircrafts and the memorial sights of those who never made it home. This book will have a local as well as an international appeal.
As a dedicated member of the Clogher Historical Society, Joe is highly active in the local history circuit in Fermanagh and has been involved in a number of previous history publications. This book brings together extensive research on the this fascinating period gathered by Joe over many years.
