Fighter Boys - Saving Britain 1940..
Patrick Bishop, Harper Collins, 2003. 1st Edition. ISBN: 0002571692. 434 pages, 755g. Green cloth boards with slight age toning to pages, FINE in a FINE d/w. Illustrated with b/w photographs. The Battle of Britain is one of the most crucial battles ever fought, and the victory of Fighter Command over the Luftwaffe has always been celebrated as a classic feat of arms. But, as Patrick Bishop shows in this superb history, it was also a triumph of the spirit in which the attitudes of the pilots themselves played a crucial part. Reaching beyond the myths to convey the fear and exhilaration of life on this most perilous of frontlines, Patrick Bishop offers an intimate and compelling account that is a soaring tribute to the exceptional young men of Fighter Command.
