A classic evocative first hand account of a brave RAF fighter pilot; Hector Bolitho's long term friend, S/L John Simpson. Bolitho's beautiful English allows the reader to become absorbed in the atmosphere of wartime England during the first two years of WWII. A lot of the biography is told by transcriptions of Simpson's personal letters to Bolitho. The reader learns how the insecure character of Simpson transforms into one of great courage and strength from direct aerial combat with the Luftwaffe. Tightly bound, pages clean and bright, slight staining and foxing due to age. Bound on blue cloth boards protected with a dust jacket that has minimal shelf wear
