Spitfire Pilot was written in 1940 in the heat of battle when the
RAF stood alone against the might of Hitlers Third Reich. It is a
tremendous personal account of one of the fiercest and most
idealised air conflicts the Battle of Britain seen through the eyes
of a pilot of the famous 609 Squadron, which shot down over 100
planes in that epic contest. Often hopelessly outnumbered, in their
state of the art Spitfires, Crook and his colleagues committed acts
of unimaginable bravery against the Messerschmidts and Junkers.
Many did not make it and the author describes the absence they
leave in the squadron with great poignancy. Spitfire Pilot is
justly regarded as one of the classics of WWII and this new
paperback edition, 66 years on, includes an introduction by the
historian Richard Overy.
