However, I don't remember Biggles having a family and girlfriend, I don't remember him talking about how he felt about his friends dying or about fear. Absolutely brilliant book

Anyone reading this book will find themselves in the cockpit of a Spitfire over London or Kent during WWII chasing and shooting down German aircraft. One of the best books I've ever read from Battle of Britain.

MR D MCMILLAN

and fighting for your life being shot at by German fighters and bomber aircraft! Without question one of the finest books I have ever read (and vicariously) enjoyed flying a Spitfire and training as a WWII pilot. It is informative, I learnt a lot about the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain from it. At first it reminded me of the Biggles books I read and enjoyed as a lad.

This is an excellent book. I simple could not put this book down! It is not just about the aircraft, it is about the people who piloted them too. .

So this book scores over Biggles on those issues.
