Review:
I struggled through the prologue, fearing a book stuffed of the same old cliches, to be pleasantly surprised at having discovered a real gem of a book.
By extensive use of personal contemporary accounts of those actually involved in the fighting, Patrick Bishop succeeds in peeling back the romantic veneer surrounding the aircrew to reveal the harsh reality of their existence in the long, hot Summer of 1940 - the dread of hearing the dispersal telephone ring, the terror & confusion of the dogfight and the utter exhaustion brought about by unrelenting action are laid bare for all to see.
This book doesn't set out to make heroes of the RAF pilots involved in the country's defence in 1940 but it does show the extraordinary job done by these most ordinary people, capturing the true spirit of Fighter Command from the phoney war through to the end of the Battle of Britain.
A fitting testament to those who laid down their lives, their courage in in defending Britain is not forgotten.
