SPITFIRE: A VERY BRITISH LOVE STORY (PB)

This passionate portrait of the Spitfire carries the reader beyond the dogfights over Kent and Sussex to cover the full global reach of its deployment during WWII, from Malta to North Africa and the Far East, and over the D-Day beaches. Here are edge-of-the-seat stories and heart-stopping first-hand accounts of battling pilots forced to bail out over occupied territory; of sacrifice and wartime love; of aristocratic female flyers; and of the mechanics who kept the aircraft in battle-ready condition.
