Description
From dogfights above the English Channel during the Battle of Britain and relentless bomber raids in Europe to the conflicts on the Russian front and in the Pacific, this is an incredible insight into the minds of some of the greatest heroes of the age: what they thought about the planes they flew, what they thought of their opponents and what it felt like to be involved in some of the most exciting and terrifying actions of the war. Drawn in large part from a unique collection of pilot accounts assembled by the Military Gallery in Wendover, many of the war's most famous airmen are included. - Jacket flap.
First Sentence
They were always an elite, the men - and the very few women - who flew in combat.
