Fighter Aces

Knights of the Sky

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

This concise history explores how the idea of chivalric aces was established in the First World War; following the development of the Spitfire and Hurricane, pilots continued to be feted – now as ‘the Few’ who would save Britain from invasion. With profiles of leading figures and key planes, this narrative also covers later conflicts including the Arab-Israeli wars and the Falklands War, giving an overview of the changing role of fighter pilots.
