Arise to Conquer by Ian Gleed

ISBN: 9781906502935 PUBLISHER: Grub Street FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 208 PUBLICATION DATE: 31.08.2010 DIMENSIONS: 196mmX128mmX18mm 254grams

DESCRIPTION: Originally published during the war in 1942, this is the other side of the mirror from the philosophical flight record of authors such as Antoine de Saint Exupery. It is a literal, daily record of an English fighter pilot of 23 years fighting in the Battle of Britain, giving a truly authentic picture of life on a squadron in those times. Gleed details his first sortie in 1939, his break down not so long after, his return to the RAF and battles over France, his exploits in the Battle of Britain, becoming an ace, downing Messerschmitts, and eventually being awarded the DFC for his service as leader and fighter. This is a candid, likable record of a job done which became a classic, now published in paperback. A worthy companion to "Spitfire Pilot" also published by Grub Street.
