Don't worry Treadders I have the whole series nailed.
Quite the best of the four I think. It really was most interesting. The stories were very good and bought back many memories of my young days living 3 miles from Croydon at the time of the battle. An 8 year old, soon to be 9, watching the dogfights is a memory etched in my mind.
I met some of the pilots who were at Croydon at the time, and it is magical to be in their presence. They are true heroes of our time. Many other heroes came after them, but MANY of them wouldn't be heroes had the BoB not been won!
Pete Brothers must have had memories rushing back too. What a moment - and yes I shed some too.
Well, Dave Mallon learned what it was like and I hope he continues to enjoy his aeros. He can quite rightly claim that he was certainly taught by a master.
