Description

Ian Richard Gleed was born in 1916 and began his flying career as a civilian before being commissioned into the RAF in 1936. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a respected leader among his peers. Gleed's wartime memoir, Arise to Conquer, provides a detailed account of his experiences as a fighter pilot during World War II, including his time on the Hawker Hurricane and his involvement in key battles such as the Battle of Britain. The book is notable for its first-hand insights into life as a fighter pilot during this period. This edition of Arise to Conquer has been extensively introduced by renowned aviation historian Dilip Sarkar MBE, FRHistS, and features a remarkable set of wartime images that bring Gleed's story to life.
