4.9/5 (12724 ratings)

Description:First in the Aces High series--a military reference of the fighter pilots who had five or more confirmed victories while serving in the Royal Air Force.Introduced by the French quite early in World War I, the term "ace" was used to describe a pilot credited with five or more aerial victories. But in the United Kingdom, the term was never officially recognized. Becoming an ace was partly luck, especially considering the campaigns in which they flew and the areas of combat. There are three distinct kinds of aces: the defensive ace, the offensive ace, and the night fighter.This book is a revised collection of the biographies of the highest scoring Allied fighter pilots of World War II--including those with the confirmed claims of shooting down five aircraft and those pilots with lower scores but whose wartime careers prove them worthy of inclusion. All details of their combat are arranged in tabular form. Included are a selection of photographs from hitherto private collections."There are some authors whose name alone is sufficient reason to but a book, and Christopher Shores is surely one of these . . . By profession a chartered surveyor, he served in the Royal Air Force in the 1950s so his writing bears the stamp of authenticity." --HistoryNetWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
