Thank you very, very much @Nelliegrace for the author details. The gentleman is a historian and researcher on the 40s, so if anyone would know! I'll try to track down some details of his publisher. The book looks very interesting as well. Unfortunately our county libraries do not have a copy so I've set up a search to see if I can get an inexpensive 2nd hand volume. I also thought that I could send a question in to the Imperial War Museum re cloth spec 9.
A couple of book dealers on Amas0n have the hardback book on sale for <£13 plus £2.80 P&P @alicef. I don't think it ever made it to paperback, unfortunately.
