YA World war II - non fiction Compilation storybook, possible series

[Jonathan]

remember a book from my early teenage years (would have been mid/late 90's).

Cover had a fighter pilot with an open canopy, black hair, moustache. possible other pictures around. was a hardback without slip cover. was in english

Possibly called Heros of World war II, or stories from World War II

Had a page or two about 'heroic' people from world war 2 (Ernie Pyle - War Correspondent, Guy Gibson, Witold Pilecki - man who broke into Auschwitz , Female SOE agent, Rochard Sorge - Triple agent who reported to USSR operation Barbarossa, Anne Frank).

Think i saw at the library another in the series might have been Tales of Freedom fighters

Many thank in advance

A few guesses:

- Heroes of World War II: The Men and Women Who Won the War by Tom Bower?
Here's one cover image on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Heroes-World-W...

- "Heros and Heroines of World War II" (1995) by Irene Lythgoe Belue?
https://www.worldcat.org/title/heros-...

Sample search -- https://www.worldcat.org/advancedsearch > Subject: world war 1939 | Title: heros | 1950-2005 ? | Not juvenile | Non-Fiction | English

Neither of those I'm afraid, think it had less pages, mixture of photos and illustrations

Remember a couple more chapters of this:

The atlantic battle between the HMS Jervis Bay and the Admiral Scheer (VC awarded to Edward Fegen posthumously)

The Raid on Alexandria by Italian Frogmen
