The author, James Kyle DFM, joined the RAF soon after the Battle of Britain and after flying training in Texas, became a member of 197 Typhoon Fighter Squadron at Drem, East Lothian upon its formation in December 1942. He was one of the few who lived to complete a full tour of operations and was finally demobilised in 1947 as a flight commander with 80 Tempest Fighter Squadron in Germany. James Kyle not only describes vividly what life is like as one of the famous "Brylcreem Boys" scrambling strafing and dive-bombing in his redoubtable Hawker Typhoon, he also comments on his childhood in industrial Clydeside and on the challenge of life after the war. Illustrated with photographs from the author's own collection, most published here for the first time. Ref OOO 1. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 033085
