Written by the squadron leader, Brian Lane, it is a gripping first-hand account of his day-to-day experiences in that conflict, with colleagues and friends regularly not making it back to base. It's short and sweet, because it's based on diaries and notes, and is a record of personal experience rather than a work of history: Lane was too busy staying alive to worry about posterity. Unfortunately he was shot down and killed in 1942. This edition gives names and places which were redacted in the original.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st thus. 1st.
