"A brilliant first-hand account of the life of a fighter pilot" in World War II (The Spectator).
Spitfire Pilot was written in 1940 in the heat of battle, when the RAF stood alone against the might of Hitler's Third Reich. It is a tremendous personal account of one of the fiercest and most idealized air conflicts-the Battle of Britain-seen through the eyes of a pilot of the famous 609 Squadron, which shot down over one hundred planes in that epic contest.
Often hopelessly outnumbered, David Crook and his colleagues, in their state-of-the-art Spitfires, committed acts of unimaginable bravery against the Messerschmitts and the Junkers. Many did not make it-and Crook describes the absence they leave in the squadron with great poignancy.
Includes an introduction by historian Richard Overy
