Sailor Malan
Battle Of Britain Legend Adolph Malan
Hard Cover Philip Kaplan
First Edition
"I do not think that Malan could join a squadron without improving it, however good it was. Not by sword-waving, but by a strength of mind and integrity that are at once recognizable and effectivehe was the best pilot of the War"
- Air Commodore Al Deere, C.B.E., D.S.O., D.F.C.
Malan was thirty years of age during the Battle of Britain, old for a fighter pilot, but his maturity gave his leadership a firm authority. The Battle of Britain produced many airmen of great skill and accomplishment; high achievers who made their mark in one of history's most memorable and demanding campaigns. But only a few of these men distinguished themselves in such a way as to become legends in their own lifetimes. Among the greatest of these was Sailor Malan.
