The Big Show: The Greatest Pilot's Story of World War II (Cassell Military Paperbacks)

About this book

This is absolutely the best fighter pilot memoir of World War II. Pierre Closterman was a Free French fighter ace and his account of the air war over Britain and France has justly become famous. It contains everything one could wish for: wonderfully observed descriptions of wartime Britain frighteningly evocative stories of in-the-cockpit action an amazing cast of characters and all the drama and bravery of a man fighting a desperate war thousands of feet above the ground. An undeniable classic and a true page-turner.
