TEE EMM


We have been loaned a collection of the magazine TEE EMM,
which were issued as a restricted document to RAF Aircrew during the Second World War.
They contain a variety of articles and cartoons, especially of Pilot Officer Prune,
to illustrate how others have got things wrong or how they should be done.
We have now completed the long task of scanning every page and reproducing every single edition ever published. The first issue was in April 1941 and the last in March 1946. You can now read these 60 splendid publications (including pictures and diagrams) on your computer. Each magazine is easily accessed from a menu and is read using Adobe Acrobat Reader which is included on the CD.

The CD costs only £19.99p including p&p and VAT, for over 1,500 pages of fascinating material, or $33 US for airmail worldwide.

TEE EMM, CD
TEE EMM, historic WWII RAF Air Crew Training Memoranda. These were circulated to Bomber Command, Fighter Command, Coastal Command and the Empire, throughout the Second World War

Foreword by Ex Flt/Lt. Dunford DFC, 608 Sqdn. 8 Group
"The producers of TEE EMM magazine had a unique skill - catching our attention and putting over vital information in a form that could easily be assimilated, even by young aircrew (themselves produced by unskilled labour!)

We learned of others' mistakes, and sometimes avoided repeating them! The messages from TEE EMM, and the FOUGASSE posters in the crew rooms, did save lives.

For those of us who were there, this disc will revive memories of bar parties, thrills, "flak", the blinding dazzle of a searchlight "cone", - and the empty beds of those who did not make it back.

For postwar generations, - enjoy your dearly bought freedom, and savour some of our past.

To those of us left, and to those who want to know, I commend this insight into our history."

Foreword from the First Edition of TEE EMM.
"This is the first issue of a new Air Ministry Publication, a monthly Memorandum on Training. It is perhaps a little different from the usual run of such publications, but new things frequently are different. The Royal Air Force, compared with the Navy and the Army, is a new Service. Our traditions are brilliant, but do not yet stretch very far back. But we have a tradition of ebullience, even of unconventionality - in short a tradition of the Spirit of Youth and all that Youth implies.
It is not, therefore, out of keeping with this tradition that TEE EMM, the new R.A.F. Training Memorandum, should in a small way reflect this spirit by an occasional intrusion of lightheartedness into serious subjects, by an occasional unconventionality of treatment, by an occasional lack of stiffness in the presentation of training and instructional points and information. There is no harm in humour; there is indeed a lot of good....."


Use of the cartoon character PO Prune served to deliver the desired messages with just such humour, but to good effect.
PO Prune was used extensively throughout Tee Emm to illustrate the advice being given.  Pilot Officer Prune, and other cartoon drawings in Tee Emm were drawn by W.Hooper, R.A.F.
