  1. About halfway through

    A thoroughly good read.

    A French fighter pilot in the RAF.

    Written (according to the fronticepeice) from notes made at the time (some actually written in the henpit). It has a terrific sense of immediacy as though you're there with him in dogfights, patrols and strafing runs. Very matter of fact and not given to emotional outbursts he comes across as a very level headed "cool in a crisis" young man who whent through mill with the rest of the fighter pilots but was lucky enough to come out of it (relatively) in tact. Definately worth a look

  2. Going back though this one again at the moment.

    Highlights the MASSIVE amount of training that went into getting a bomber crew into the air... with a very short life expectancy... the terrible waste.
