About The Author
Steve Crump
Steve Crump’s fascination for the human stories behind those taking to the air during the Second World War was ignited in the 1980s when he met Kazik Budzik, a former Polish Spitfire Pilot, and author Dilip Sarkar MBE. Research into the local wartime crash of Mosquito DZ477 led to Steve’s passion to preserve the memories and experiences of the people who helped change the course of history.
Born and educated in Hereford, Steve had careers in Engineering, IT, Human Resource Management and finally the support of vulnerable adults. Married to his wife Claire for over forty years, they have two children, a beautiful granddaughter and an ever-present cockapoo, Tilly. Having retired to Anglesey, Steve was able to devote his time and energy to revisit his archive of personal contemporary material to write Mosquito Pathfinder.
