(Subject: Aviation - World War II ) "Spitfire Pilot" was written in 1940 in the heat of battle when the RAF stood alone against the might of Hitler's Third Reich. It is a tremendous personal account of one of the fiercest and most idealised air conflicts - the Battle of Britain - seen through the eyes of a pilot of the famous 60…9 Squadron, which shot down over 100 planes in that epic contest. Often hopelessly outnumbered, Crook and his colleagues committed acts of unimaginable bravery against the Luftwaffe. Many did not make it and the author describes the absence they left in the squadron, with great poignancy.
