This is the best fighter pilot memoir of World War II. Pierre Closterman was a Free French fighter ace; his account of the air war over Britain and France has justly become famous. It contains everything for which one could wish: wonderful descriptions of wartime Britain, frighteningly evocative stories of in-the-cockpit action, an amazing cast of characters, and all the drama and bravery of a man fighting a desperate war thousands of feet above the ground. An undeniable classic and a true page-turner.
