In 1918, the RAF was established as the world's first independent
air force. To mark the 100th anniversary of its creation, Penguin
are publishing the Centenary Collection, a series of six classic
books highlighting the skill, heroism and esprit de corps that have
characterised the Royal Air Force throughout its first century. The
Last Enemy is Richard Hillary's extraordinary account of his
experience as a Spitfire pilot in the Second World War. Hillary was
shot down during the Battle of Britain, leading to months in
hospital as part of Archibald McIndoe's 'Guinea Pig Club',
undergoing pioneering plastic surgery to rebuild his face and
hands. The Last Enemy was first published in 1942, just seven
months before Hilary's untimely death in a second crash and has
gone on to be hailed as one of the classic texts of World War II.
