GROUP CAPTAIN JOHNNY KENT joined the RAF in the 1930s and went on
to become a flight commander of one of the most successful fighter
squadrons of the Second World War. In this role, he helped the
famous 303 Polish Squadron play a decisive part in the Battle of
Britain, which earned him the highest Polish military award, the
Virtuti Militari, as well as the affectionate nickname 'Kentowski'.
Group Captain Kent's fascinating memoirs, originally published in
1971, tell the story of his life in the RAF, from his struggles as
a boy on the Canadian Prairies to get into the air, detailing his
experiences as a test pilot in Farnborough and his constant efforts
to excel at what he did. Alongside the classic tale of derring-do,
Kent's daughter provides supplementary material that places his
extraordinary story into the broader context of his life as a son,
husband and father. Poignant questions are raised about what it
meant to be 'One of the Few' - for both the men themselves and
those to whom they were closest.
