Summary: Better than a movie rental!!!
Comment: Talk about thrills! This little treasure is one of the all-time classics to come out of WWII, but few people have heard about it (which makes it a great gift idea, too, for friends who are into WWII history and military subjects).
This is a first-hand account of the part Richard Hillary and his friends played as fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain. This is gripping reading from beginning to end!
From Mr. Hillary: "Disillusioned and spoiled, referred to as The Lost Generation, we were without any Holy Grail until the war provided it in what seemed a delightfully palatable form. For myself, I was glad for purely selfish reasons. As a fighter pilot I hoped for a concentration of amusement, fear, and exaltation which I had little chance of experiencing in another form of existence. I was not disappointed."
The traditional British understatement makes this book, and this dramatic personal story, all the more enjoyable to read.
Now that you've found it, please tell your friends about it!
