You Never Know Your Luck by Keith C Ogilvie
The story of Keith 'Skeets' Ogilvie who became an 'Ace' flying Spitfires during the Battle of Britain, was shot down, and was one of those fortunate not to have been murdered by the Gestapo having taken part in the famous 'Great Escape' from Stalag Luft III.
You Never Know Your Luck is the story of two modest people who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances, and who rose to the occasion like so many of their contemporariesSkeets' and Irene's own words and memories are the foundations on which the experience of wartime unfolds. A unique perspective from individuals who never failed to wonder at their own fortune. * Recollections of World War II *
Keith C. Ogilvie describes himself as the ‘lucky’ son of Skeets and Irene Ogilvie. As he grew up he gradually came to understand just how remarkable the lives of his parents had been. Working from a trove of personal correspondence, diaries, scrapbooks and media, together with memoirs of others and research covering the events of the time, he has chronicled the highlights of these two memorable lives.
