The last book written by legendary 38-confirmed-kill British RAF WW2 ace Air Vice-Marshal J E 'Johnnie' Johnson, this time co-written with friend and ace Wing Commander 'Laddie' Lucas. Covers the European air war primarily from the British perspective, but with a tribute to the work of the USAAF 8th Air Force - as well as to the work of NZ, Australian, Canadian and US airmen flying with the RAF fighter force. Covers from the Battle of Britain, the fighter offensive of 1941, the desperate defence of Malta, and from Normandy to the end of the Third Reich. Includes some German perspectives from post war friendships with the likes of Gen Adolph Galland, their major rival during hostilities. Excellent in its interesting, easy to read overview of all campaigns in which the two fought - has many illustrations.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Johnnie Johnson and Laddie Lucas both rose from modest and quite separate beginnings to distinguished leadership of fighting formations in the European and Mediterranean theatres of war. As fighter pilots and leaders of various commands and in the Tactical Air Force in Europe, each was at the forefront of defensive and offensive operations for much of the war. As such, they had personal contact with many of the senior allied commanders and their well-publicized subordinates, as well as some of the outstanding combat leaders of the day, British and American, Commonwealth and European. In this personal narrative, the authors expose the triumphs which contributed to victory, and the reasons for them. They also reveal the mistakes, the failures, the disasters and the misjudgements which were an inevitable part of the pressures of an air force at war. They deal too with the impact of losses, with moving references and character studies of some of their celebrated comrades who were also friends. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002694811
