The Few

what a book

happy day

[Tumble]

s'on me list... just ordered First and Last (Adolf Galland) It's still available from the publishers, but currently out of stock. Expecting some in soon tho

The 'First and The Last' is an interesting read. Galland comes over as a very intelligent man and tactician. It's a good one to dip into when dropping 'bombs' from the great porceilin cockpit

Also worth a look (though not sure if it's still in print), and another favourite toilet read, is 'Fighter Pilot: A personal Record of the Campaign in France', it's a first hand account of the Battles of France by a Hurricane pilot written in 1941. Lots of blazing guns and pulse raising action.

Geoffrey Wellum's 'First Light' is good too. It describes the training of a WW2 RAF fighter pilot, his combat in the BoB, and then his transfer to and combat in Malta. It's very well written.

I've never read 'The Few', is that the Philip Kaplan book?

[Zak33]

Cheers TiG
