Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Light foxing to top and right foredge. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Dizzy Allen was a Spitfire pilot with No. 66 Squadron in the Battle of Britain. Six months later, he found himself in command of it. He had been with the squadron just one year, not yet 22 years old.

Not just a squadron history, but his memoir paints a memorable picture of a fighter pilot in action.
