4.9/5 (32279 ratings)

Description:First published anonymously in 1943, 'Tattered Battlements' quickly established itself as a classic account of a Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter pilot's war over Malta during the time of its greatest peril (March - May 1942); when once the hard-pressed RAF stood between the Luftwaffe and the Regia Aeronautica, with its consequent dangers for North Africa.As Basil Collier wrote of this book: 'I have read many accounts of air battles. I do not know of one that gives a more vivid impression of what air combat in World War II was like, or which bears more clearly the stamp of intellectual honesty, integrity and candour.'Now republished with an introduction by air historian Chaz Bowyer, it has additional material hitherto unpublished on the author's later career with 66 Squadron. Found amongst his papers, it describes two months of operations, opening with an account of D-Day, and showing how the air war and his own attitudes had changed in the two years since his earlier diary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
