Fighter Pilot
This wartime memoir by a British pilot who flew in World War II was a bestseller when it was first published, and has become a classic respected for its immediacy and authenticity. Paul Richey recalls the everyday life he shared with his comrades, the thrill of aerial combat, and his development from a wide-eyed greenhorn full of piss and vinegar to a war-weary vet. Richey was wounded several times and was eventually shot down, but he survived the war.
