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
