"Spitfire Pilot" by David Crook is a fantastic Read! Especially the one wheeled landing bit!
But let me set the record straight.. in my opinion.. the GREATEST first hand account of the battle.. with some of the pages having you in fits of laughter.. and others bringing you close to tears is...
"Life's Too Short To Cry" by Tim Vigors
He is an amazing character that you get to know as the book goes on.. once driving through Battle of Britain country on the south coast of England.. my father said.. there you go.. couldn't you just imagine Time doing a flypast in his beloved Spitfire chasing a 109.. and I really could.. S!
