Description
At just 17, Geoffrey Wellum became one of the youngest fighter pilots in the RAF, flying with the prestigious 92 Squadron. His story is a vivid and compelling account of life as a Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain.
With his squadron, Wellum played a crucial role in the battle, but the experience took a heavy toll. Many of his fellow pilots never returned, and their loss is still felt today.
This is an intimate and deeply moving account of life in the skies during World War II, written with a sense of immediacy and urgency that draws the reader into the heart of the action.
