Description
The Last Enemy is a remarkable account of one man's experience as a Spitfire pilot in the Second World War. Shot down during the Battle of Britain, Richard Hillary's life was forever changed when he was forced to undergo pioneering plastic surgery to rebuild his face and hands.
Originally published in 1942, this book has become a powerful and enduring testament to the skill, heroism and resilience of those who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. A harrowing and deeply personal story, The Last Enemy is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of aviation and the human cost of war.
