Description
In Britain, Europe, the Western Desert and the Far East, throughout the Second World War, fighter pilots were ready to 'Scramble' at a moment's notice to repel enemy attacks of fighters, bombers or unmanned flying bombs.
This book is their story, but it is also the story of the hundreds of men and women who worked, often under seemingly impossible conditions, to keep the fighters in the air. Told through the reminiscences of Servicemen who survived the ordeal, but also relating the stories of many whose devotion to duty cost them their lives, this real life drama captures the valour, the hardships and the humour of a fighter airfield at war.
