Summary
‘A useful contribution to an overcrowded field of history by giving deserved attention to the ordinary men and unsung machines that aren’t usually included in the dramatic narrative.’ - The Times
‘A great read and a real eye-opener to anyone who thinks the Battle of Britain is only about Brits and Germans and Messerschmitts and Spitfires. The value in this account is also the way the back stories of many previously unheralded pilots come to life.’ -

Critics Review
Most of these pilots are refreshingly ordinary, not knights… Pearson and Gorman allow these young men to tell their own stories… there’s no need to embroider tales already incredible.
