I picked up another biography about Bader in our local library a few months back which was simply called "Douglas Bader: a biography" by Robert Jackson. This was written just before his death and covered more of his life.
This was not as sycophantic as Reach for the Sky and did query the reasons for his capture in a bit more detail.
I quite enjoyed this other view of his life and it was worth the read.
I just wish that people such as this got as much recognition as the Elvis' etc. but I guess that's not how this sad old world works.
