Produktbeschreibung

'A haunting book ... brilliant' Financial Mail

Featuring a foreword by Group Captain Peter Townsend

In 1939, at the age of nineteen, Jim Bailey was conscripted into the RAF to train as a fighter pilot.

What happened over the next five years to Jim and the men he met, the men who fought, died and survived, is related with candour and quiet modesty in this book. It describes the youthful heroism of his companions, and he captures the atmosphere of everyday life on the ground in wartime Britain, as well as the air battles.
