A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Find out how a pilot was instructed in flying a Battle of Britain fighter, using the original Pilot s Notes for the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, as well as Air Ministry flying notes on captured Messerschmitt Bf 109s. See how each compares, view their cockpits and learn how they fly. All three aircraft handled superbly, and the Pilot's Notes help give an idea of what it was like to fl y in a real Second World War fighter aircraft. The aircraft were designed and first flew within months of each other, and all served throughout the war. More than 300 pilots on the Eastern Front shot down over 100 Soviet aircraft, each using Messerschmitt Bf 109s, while British aces in the Spitfire and Hurricane included Douglas Bader, Roland Beaumont, Neville Duke and Richard Hillary.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Using the exact same Pilots Notes that Aces such as Douglas Bader and Adolf Galland would have used, Campbell McCutcheon takes us on a tour through the Spitfire, Messerschmitt and Hurricane. He lives in the Forest of Dean.
