Douglas Bader: A Biography of the Legendary World War II Fighter Pilot (Airlife Classics) - Softcover
Synopsis
Based on extensive interviews which the author had with Douglas Bader during the last thirteen years of his Bader's life, this biography tells the full story from his childhood to his work with the disabled in later life. After a flying accident in which he lost his legs, Douglas Bader was invalided out of the RAF. At the outbreak of war in 1939 he was recalled to the RAF and returned to flying. He fought in the Battle of Britain and later in nearly one hundred offensive fighter patrols. Following a mid-air collision he was captured and became a prisoner-of-war and was imprisoned in Colditz. The story of his war-time activities, both in the air and as a POW, is told in some detail and makes fascinating reading. These activities helped him to achieve celebrity status and in later life much of his time was given to promoting causes for the disabled. John Frayn Turner's account of a remarkable life is a fitting tribute to one of the country's most heroic figures.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Based on taped conversations between the author and Douglas Bader, this biography of the legendary World War II fighter pilot covers his childhood, his career at Cranwell, and the accident in which he lost his legs, following which he was invalided out of the RAF, and later recalled. The remarkable phase of the war years is dealt with in detail - the return to flying, the Battle of Britain, the 100-or-so offensive fighter patrols, his collision in the air, and his years as a POW. The book then traces Bader's transition from war to peace, his growing fame, and his work for the disabled. John Frayn Turner collaborated with Bader on "Fight For the Sky", and is also the author of "The Bader Wing" and "The Bader Tapes". 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 # GOR002178098
