Fighter Pilot
Paul Richey
Originally published anonymously in 1941 , this first-hand account of a fighter pilot's war grew out of the journal the then 23-year-old Flying Officer Richey began the day he landed his Hawker Hurricane on a grass airfield in France. It is the classic account of the role played by RAF No 1 Squadron in the increasingly violent air battles that preceded the fall of France in June 1940. By the time the Squadron was withdrawn it had destroyed a total of 155 enemy aircraft -114 of them in ten days -for the loss of three pilots killed, two wounded and one a prisoner of war. The thrill and terror of air fighting is perfectly captured in a brisk and accurate narrative by a born writer; the book is all the more enthralling for his candour and honesty as he discovers for himself the true nature of the deadly combat in which he is engaged.
