Spitfire ace of aces : the true wartime story of Johnnie Johnson
"Johnnie Johnson is a character literally straight out of the pages of 'Boys Own.' By the end of the Second World War the RAF Spitfire pilot was a household name in Britain, feted by Churchill and Eisenhower. Although he missed the Battle of Britain, when show-flying bombers were abundant and easy targets for fighters, by 1945 he had notched up 38 1/2 enemy 'kills'--all fighters, which took far more skill to shoot down--and was officially the RAF's top-scoring fighter ace." -- back cover.
