winged angels

[Roy A. Hughes]

Clearly Sir Douglas was in love with both aeroplanes, but his enthusiasm for flying and the camaraderie is also clear. The views of other flyers of these iconic machines is a valuable balance and inevitably their story is one of destruction of the enemy. No regard is paid to the destruction of life, and with little exception scorn is poured on the enemy pilots. However, the book is the story of two famous aeroplanes and Sir Douglas acquits his brief efficiently.

[Michael Kerr]

An account of the Spitfire and Hurricane usage during the war, by a rather famous pilot of the era. Of great interest to World War II history buffs (particularly from the British point of view) and those interested in aerial combat, but probably not a great read for a more general audience.

it was a good book if you like history. but if your not like me you will hate it

[Judy]

An amazing story of WW2 British fighter pilot, Douglas Bader, who was a much-decorated flying legend. Great photos and stories for those who are interested in the heroes of WW2.
