by Group Captain WE Rankin CBE DSO
My grandfather, Waters Eveleigh ("Leigh") Rankin was born in Australia in 1908, and had an eventful and very interesting life. With the encouragement of his children, he bought a computer in 1987 and wrote his autobiography. He completed it before his death in 1989, and his son, Mike Rankin, had it printed as a book in a limited production run. Mike was kind enough to pass copies of the files on to me, and for the benefit of family, friends and any others who may be interested, I have published his story here.
