FIGHTER PILOT

A strapping collection which records, in their own words, the skirmishes and sorties of combat airmen on solo missions and squadron formations as in some fifty years they distinguished themselves in World War I, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, Korea and the Arab-Israel war. There are letters, diaries and reports, pilots of every nationality, including some of the greats like Rickenbacker, Richtofen, Chennault, Grachev. Sixty excerpts in all should appeal to that audience of admiring men and boys.
