Description
Spitfire Pilot is a personal account of one of the fiercest air conflicts in history - the Battle of Britain. Written by David Crook, a pilot with 609 Squadron, this book describes the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought against the might of Hitler's Third Reich.
The author recounts his experiences in state-of-the-art Spitfires, often outnumbered but committed to their mission. The absence of some of his colleagues is poignantly described, a testament to the risks they took during this epic contest.
First published in 1940, this new paperback edition includes an introduction by historian Richard Overy, offering a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in history.
