However, I was primarily interested in the experience of the airmen and those parts were good, but the rest of the book was pretty textbook-y.
Weirdly, despite the obligatory murder mystery and the changed names and the fact that my post is mostly about another character, you can get a very good idea of the Guinea Pig Club from the third-series Foyle's War episode "Enemy Fire." I think Anthony Horowitz really just wanted to write a short play about McIndoe, so he barely filed off the serial numbers and had the series regulars wander through.
I see now that another member of the Guinea Pig Club wrote a memoir. I’m thinking that’s what I actually want to read.
I have not read them all myself, but the last time I went looking, there were a surprising number of Guinea Pig memoirs: it's practically a sub-genre, which I think is great.
This is a sight-unseen recommendation, but Liz Byrski's In Love and War looks as though it might track some of the airmen's later lives.
