Thoroughly enjoyed this as a read, contains many actual entries into the flight logbooks and first hand accounts of the engagements as well as setting out the entire battle period.

Yep, got that one in my collection! Very good author.
Also, you may have heard of an BoB Ace called Stanford Tuck? I’ve got a pair of cufflinks made from a Spitfire engine from one he crash landed after being shot down! He survived the war thankfully, one of the Few’s most decorated pilots. Got his biography too. I can never quite get my head around how young and yet how incredibly ‘adult’ they were. When you think back to when you were that age, or look at today’s kids no wonder they call them the Greatest generation. Hard to argue with (though someone on here will no doubt try!)
