Description

A thrilling account of fourteen legendary WW2 fighter pilots.

It is World War Two, and the battle for control of the skies is proving to be just as fierce as the battles raging on land.

In this powerful account, Robert Jackson explores the true stories of fourteen top fighter pilots during the Second World War. The pilots, of various nationalities, have been carefully selected from hundreds of other distinguished fighter pilots due to their exemplary qualities which set them apart from the rest.

They include Irish Wing Commander Paddy Finucane -- the youngest person ever given command of a fighter wing; Japanese aviator Saburo Sakai, who survived a bullet to the skull in mid flight and returned to make his mission report before collapsing; and German Luftwaffe general Adolf Galland, credited with 104 aerial victories.

The expertly narrated stories provide a powerful insight into the lives of the legendary fighter pilots, whose awe-inspiring achievements make Fighter Aces of World War II a must read for lovers of military aviation.
