The only book written by the legendary legless ace, the double amputee World War II fighter pilot immortalised by the film Reach for the Sky.

In Fight for the Sky, Douglas Bader tells the inspiring story of the Battle of Britain from the viewpoint of The Few. Using superb illustrations he traces the development of the Spitfire and Hurricane and describes the nail-biting actions of those who flew them against far superior numbers of enemy aircraft.

As an added bonus, other well-known fighter aces including Johnnie Johnson, Laddie Lucas and Max Aikten contribute to Douglass book, no doubt out of affection and respect. This is a really important contribution to RAF history by one of the greatestand certainly the most famouspilots of the Second World War.
