This book offers a powerfully intimate account of the Battle of
Britain, related by young pilots in their most unguarded moments,
talking with their chaplain. Guy Mayfield was the Station Chaplain
at the Royal Air Force's Duxford base in the summer of 1940, and
his diary is full of stories told by the pilots in his charge
during that period of heroism and danger. Mayfield's notes on his
conversations deliver unique insights into the mindset of these
young men as they took to the skies night after night, risking
death to defend their homes and countrymen. Rounded out with
photographs of the men and a context-setting narrative by historian
Carl Warner, the book gives us moving insights into the men who,
through their commitment and sacrifice, ensured that Britain would
survive its finest hour.
