Individual feats of courage make for inspiring reading. The author's prose crackles with action and tension and his deep understanding of air warfare is obvious. These short stories give the reader an understanding of the global scope of air operations and their massive contribution to ultimate victory. AUTHOR: John Frayn Turner is a much published and respected author. He has numerous aviation books in print with Pen and Sword including 'Douglas Bader', 'The Battle of Britain', 'The Bader Wing' and 'The WAAF at War'.
