Yep the one written by his brother in law Laddie Lucas or is it Hugh dundas dam have to dig it out, Ive prop get a copy in amazon ill dig it out and let you know :) Again its bias, seems people loved him or loathed him :)
If you can get hold of it.... (I keep my eyes open) get Fight for the Sky: The Story of the Spitfire & Hurricane .. the only book written by Bader
""He tells the inspiring story of the Battle of Britain from the viewpoint of 'The Few'. Using superb illustrations he traces the development of the Spitfire and Hurricane, and describes the nail-biting actions of those who flew them against far superior numbers of enemy aircraft. As an added bonus, other well-known fighter aces including Johnnie Johnson, 'Laddie' Lucas and Max Aitken contribute to Douglas's book""
I might know the location of a good condition paperback ;)Quote:
