Description

Scramble! The Memoir of Britain's Most-Decorated RAF Fighter Pilot by J. R. D. 'Bob' Braham is a gripping account of one of the most successful fighter pilots of World War II. With 29 confirmed combat victories, Braham's remarkable story is told in his own words, offering a unique insight into the spirit and dynamism of a pilot who flew with incredible skill and bravery. Braham's journey began in 1938, when he joined the RAF at just 18 years old. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a specialist night fighter pilot and earning his first victory in August 1940. Over the next few years, he took part in some of the most significant battles of the war, including the Battle of Britain and the fight against the V1s and V2s during the Blitz. After completing 316 missions, Braham was shot down and captured in June 1944. His experiences as a Prisoner of War lasted for eleven months, until he was finally liberated in May 1945. This memoir is a testament to Braham's remarkable story, offering a firsthand account of his adventures and achievements as one of Britain's most decorated fighter pilots.
