Has anyone ( inc' self a lot earlier ?! ) mentioned this book ?
By Gordon Levatt, who grew up in very rough circumstances to fly Spitfires for the RAF in WWII, then shortly after helped the initial forming of the Israeli Air Force.
Some very 'interesting' experiences flying clapped out overweight freighters, and any fighter they could get by any means, some highly dubious !
The flight line consisted of Spitfires and ME109's ( for once this is correct as they were late models rather than BF's ) alongside each other, and the RAF became a semi-enemy as Levatt and his chums ran the blockade.
Brilliant, well written and it seems very underestimated.
I don't have the ISBN to hand but could find it in the attic if necessary, do give it a try !
