A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The Last of the Ten Fighter Boys is intended to be both a prequel and a sequel to the chapter Jimmy wrote for Ten Fighter Boys, filling in the 'missing pieces'. The book charts: his early life before the outbreak of war in 1939; the decisions he made; and, those that were made for him. He describes how an ordinary working class boy from Maidstone was propelled into the most extraordinary of situations, landing him in the thick of the action in the skies over Kent during the summer and autumn of 1940.
