Synopsis
"I have read no book approaching this...in the vividness of its descriptions of air fighting...exhilarating and profoundly moving."--Daily Telegraph. Originally published anonymously in 1941, and republished eight times since, this was the first and finest story of a World War Two fighter pilot. The author's personal journal takes us into the action of the air battles preceding the fall of France. Beginning the day his squadron arrived in France, Richey's memoirs recount the unnerving lull right before the violence--and the fatigue of the Blitzkrieg, with its non-stop combat. 6 1/8 X 9 1/4.

About the Author
Born in 1916, he was commissioned into the Royal Air Force in 1937. Severely wounded in action in the Battle of France, he returned to combat flying in England in 1941, leading a Spitfire squadron on offensive sweeps over occupied France. In 1942 he was sent to the India/Burma theatre to revise their fighter tactics. Invalided home in early 1944, he was later posted to SHAEF Belgium, and ended the war as a Wing Commander Operations in the War Room of the 2nd Tactical Air Force in Germany. A dedicated Europhile, he was working on a history of Anglo-French relations when he died in 1969.
