This is almost all of what survives of a journal Colin Perry kept between March & November 1940, when he was eighteen years old, written in his home in Tooting & in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication, it is only the youthful, untrained outpourings of a proud & totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call '...the Great Days from 8 August
