Seller's Description:
Alan McKnight (Maps). Good. xiii, [1], 222, [4] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Cover worn and soiled. This is a Bantam War Book. John Randall Daniel "Bob" Braham, DSO & Two Bars, DFC & Two Bars, AFC, CD (6 April 1920-7 February 1974) was a Royal Air Force (RAF) night fighter pilot and fighter ace during the Second World War. He gained his first victory on 24 August, which remained his only success in the battle. In September 1940, No. 29 Squadron was re-equipped with the Bristol Beaufighter. Braham continued operations during "The Blitz", claiming the destruction of two more enemy aircraft. By the end of 1940 he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). Braham continued to operate as an anti-intruder pilot after the Blitz ended in May 1941. He became an ace in September 1941, and was awarded a bar to his DFC in November 1941. Braham was the most highly decorated airman in RAF Fighter Command. Foreword by Air Chief Marshal Sir Basil Embry. Introduction by Robert Spreckels, Ace German Fighter-pilot of the Luftwaffe. He was the pilot who shot Braham down. Fast-paced, hard-hitting and personal, Wing Commander J.R.D. "Bob" Braham recounts his brilliant career as a Second World War fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF). Beginning with his pre-war training, he takes us battle-by-battle through that fateful afternoon in June 1944, when he was shot down over German-occupied Denmark and taken prisoner. From the desperate nighttime sorties against the Luftwaffe's air strikes during the Battle of Britain to the daring daylight intruder raids against Hitler's crumbling Reich, Braham's story reveals the skill, courage and teamwork between pilot an navigator that made him one of the RAF's most deadly fighter pilots.
