[Fighter Boys] portrays so intimately the lives, the
experiences, the emotions and the fates of the pilots… A powerful
yet restrained, at times almost unbearably touching, narrative.
(Evening Standard, London)
For 123 days in the summer of 1940, 3,000 youthful airmen in the
Royal Air Force fought back against Hitler’s advancing forces with
a heroism that astonished the world. Drawing on interviews with
scores of surviving pilots as well as diaries and letters never
before seen, military historian and journalist Patrick Bishop
re-creates with astonishing intimacy and clarity this excruciating,
exhilarating war of nerves. In their own words, the pilots describe
what it was like to bale out from a stricken plane, to go into
battle in the face of overwhelming odds, to hear the screams of a
comrade as he went down in flames. With a riveting, taut narrative,
Fighter Boys relates how those young heroes changed the
course of World War II—and the history of the modern world.
