Review
"'From kilt to cockpit, this is a thoroughly entertaining fighter pilot's memoir, a story told in most readable style, and another excellent reason for buying the book is that all of Sammy Sampson's royalties go to The RAF Benevolent Fund.' Legion 'A graphic account of Spitfire operations over France...an interesting insight into the air war that turned the tide in the Allies' favour.' Flypast 'This memoir has much to recommend it and set it apart from the mass of flying stories....Most fascinating of all, it presents a vivid portrait of life and death in the RAF's Free French Fighter Wing.' Eastern Daily Press 'Making no concessions to maiden aunts.. Wing Commander Ralph William Frazer Sampson uses choice language to re-live the combats, passions and everyday ups and downs of a Spitfire pilot from 1942 until 1945.' Edward Bishop in The Field 'Yet another Grub Street success. Well worth reading, told with verve and an intensity that portrays the subject's character to the full.' Aviation News"
