Loved the easy relaxed style which made one feel in the cockpit with the author. The journalistic layout portrayed a very real sense of the day to day life of a young fighter pilot all the highs and lows graphically described.
I really enjoyed the thumbnail descriptions of each of the authors friends and squadron mates at the end....lovely tribute to the men who fought, many not returning from the days combat. In retrospect, it felt like the 19 year old author, barely out of school, lived a lifetime in a year during the Battle of Britain.

WHAT GUTSY GUYS THESE PILOTS WHERE.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2015
Another awe inspiring read, from the memory of Tom Neil, an ACE fighter pilot from a time duringthe 2nd WW, his account of what transpired when flying Hurricanes in the BoB and then later inother airrial conflicts. This was for me a dramatic forthright appealing eye opener of a fighter pilotstime in his early life and what gutsy Guys these were at a very young age. What they went throughagainst phenomenal odds the great courage they showed in defending our Country against theGermans. THE AMAZING THING IS ALL THEY ASK IN RETURN IS THAT WE NEVER FORGETTHEM. Well I for one will definitely not forget after reading Toms extraordinary account of some of the actions he had to take to survive this onslaught from a Country led by a madman, who was pureEvil. After reading this it has inspired me to read more and understand more of this turbulent time inour history from other fighter pilots who gave everything to holt the enemy ever setting foot on ourIsland. This book should be read by all It's absolutely absorbing. A truly amazing man who I wouldliked to have met to thank him personally. Another book I have finished a little while ago was FIRSTLIGHT by another fighter Ace GEOFFREY WELLUM ANOTHER ONE of these courageous GuysI take my hat off to them. 10/10
