Fighter Ace : The Extraordinary Life of Douglas Bader, Battle of Britain Hero

"That he overcame his disability and flew into battle-leading squadrons of Spitfires and Hurricanes in the epic air battle of summer 1940 - is truly remarkable. Bader's first aerial victory - a Messerschmitt 109 - was recorded over Dunkirk on 1 July 1940. During the subsequent Battle of Britain this remarkable airman claimed the destruction of seven more enemy aircraft: Me 110s, Do 17s, Ju 88s and another Me 109 falling to his guns. The legless airman was, of course, rich material for the propagandists, who lost no time in manipulating his exploits to increase Britian's morale. Newspaper reports and radio broadcasts of his aerial victories abounded." -- from back cover.
