They gave me a Seafire
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Commander R. 'Mike' Crosley, DSC*, RN, was born in Liverpool in 1920. His operational history with the Fleet Air Arm saw him complete up to 3 sorties a day in the period 1942-45. His capacity for survival and sheer skill as a pilot were remarked upon at the time, and he secured a number of decorations, including DSC* and Bar. Upon his retirement from the Royal Navy in 1970, he became a Physics teacher in Devon and the Isle of Wight. Following the release of They Gave Me A Seafire in 1986, he went on to write Up In Harm's Way: Flying With the Fleet Air Arm, first published in 1995 by Airlife, and re-issued by Pen and Sword Books in 2005. He died in 2010, aged 90. He received a posthumous Arctic Star in 2013.
