From Library Journal:

Kansas City businessman Raymond's service in the RAF, begun after the Dunkirk retreat, prompted this remarkable entry in World War II memoirs. The author tells of the evolution of a careful and exacting pilot whose crew would risk legal action rather than fly with anyone else, so dedicated were they to his methods and skill. First published in an abbreviated version in 1977, this volume includes commentary from the editor and excerpts from various letters that widen the scope of the story, adding the romance of a girl back home, the changing climate of the effort, and Raymond's growing fondness for the English. Casualty figures give a sense that RAF night raids were usually fatal, but Raymond's view here is that superior flying ability and constant attention to detail made the difference between life and death. Vivid and intimate, this worthwhile book provides a valuable picture of one facet of the European war. For public libraries and special military and history collections.?Mel D. Lane, Sacramento, CA
