Sky Tiger  [9780907579298]

Sky Tiger is the story of Sailor Malan, a pilot who was a household name during the Second World War. His record is enviable, with nearly three dozen victories to his name, as well as two DSOs, two DFCs, and several foreign decorations. Sailor Malan's actions included flying as a flight leader and squadron leader over Dunkirk and becoming one of the Royal Air Force's first Wing Leaders during the Battle of Britain. His success continued and he eventually became the Station Commander at Biggin Hill. While a very successful pilot and leader, the weight was heavy, and Sailor Malan passed away in 1963 at the young age of 54. This book chronicles those wartime years and is a fitting biography of an iconic RAF pilot.

This title is great books to sit down in the evening and read through. It will pull you into that bygone era and give you a taste of what it was like to fly these aircraft in the skies over Europe.
