Creased along spine and at corners. Black & white photographs. Originally published anonymously in 1941, this first-hand account of a fighter pilot's war grew out of the journal the then 23-yearl old Flying Officer Richey began the day he landed his Hawker Hurricane on a grass airfield in France. It is the classic account of the role played by RAF No 1 Squadron in the increasingly violent air battles that preceded the fall of France in June 1940. By the time the Squadron was withdrawn it had destroyed a total of 155 enemy aircraft - 144 of them in ten days - for the loss of three pilots killed, two wounded and one a prisoner of war. The thrill and terror of air fighting is perfectly captured in a brisk and accurate narrative by a born writer, the book is all the more enthralling for his candour and honesty as he discovers for himself the true nature of the deadly combat in which he is engaged. Weight (before packaging): 150g.

Batsford, London. 1941 First Edition. 122pp plus plates. Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in fine condition, there is a small neat inscription to the foot of the f.e.p. bound in Air Force blue cloth covered boards with dark blue titling to the spine and the upper board. A dust wrapper is not present. Paul Henry Mills Richey, from Chelsea, London was born in Chelsea London on May 7, 1916. Richey joined the RAF in 1937 and was posted to 1 Squadron, flying Furies. After completion of his training, Richey was posted, in March 1939, to No.1 Squadron based at Tangmere, flying Hawker Hurricane fighters. On Sept 8th, shortly after war was declared Richey's squadron were ordered to Vassincourt in France where they flew counter-air patrols in the Metz area. On May 10th, 1940 with the start of the German Blitzkrieg began a period of intense fighting. In Hurricane L1679 Flying Officer Paul Richey destroyed a Dornier 215 on his first sortie of the day and a Dornier 17 on his 5th. A day later, on May 11th, Richey managed to shoot down two enemy planes before he was shot down and had to bail out. Richey suffered a concussion but recovered to fly again four days later on the 15th, when he claimed two more enemy planes, but was again hit by the Germans and forced to bail out. Again, after only four days recovery, on the 19th, Richey was back in the air. He downed an enemy plane in short order but was hit by enemy fire receiving a bullet wound to the neck. Richey crash landed, was recovered and taken to a hospital in Paris, where the bullet was removed. He spent the rest of the Battle of France in the hospital and returned to the United Kingdom in June 1940 where he received a DFC. Unfit for flying, Richey wrote up his memoirs under the title Fighter Pilot . Published in September 1941, Richey's Fighter Pilot was a first of its kind memoir to describe the war in the air and was popular with the public. Ref FFF 5.

Paul Richey, DFC & Bar (7 May 1916 ? 23 February 1989) was a flying ace who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He was credited with having shot down at least ten aircraft. He also wrote a well received book, Fighter Pilot, covering No. 1 Squadron's involvement in the Battle of France. Born in Chelsea, Richey joined the RAF in 1937 and once his training was completed was posted to No. 1 Squadron. Sent to France on the outbreak of the Second World War, he flew extensively during the Battle of France and achieved several aerial victories until he was wounded in action. Repatriated to the United Kingdom, after a period of service as a fighter controller and then an instructor, he returned to operational flying in April 1941 with a posting to No. 609 Squadron. Flying on sorties to occupied France during the Circus offensive, he shot down several more aircraft. His account of his squadron's service during the Battle of France was published in mid-1941 as Fighter Pilot. Ref A4 4.
