Wing Leader by 'Johnnie' Johnson, Air Vice-Marshal |
Johnson flew Spitfires from 1940-45 and over time the fear and inexperience of the novice developed into the worries and concerns of the wing leader. Colleagues come and colleagues go, some transferred, some captured, some killed and the emotional price on the survivors is not ignored. The descriptions of flight and of the almost emotional bond between the planes and the men who flew them, combined with an excellent narrative, made for a fascinating read.
