In Victory Fighters, Stephen Darlow describes and analyses the relevant command decisions from the highest level down and against this background the men give their accounts from the start of their flying careers through to the preparations for operation OVERLORD, the invasion itself, the liberation of France, the crossing of the Rhine, to the end of the war in Europe on VE-Day.
Through their eyes, the reader is introduced to a series of different tasks and situations, a multitude of aircraft types- Sunderlands. Mustangs, Tempests, Typhoons, Spitfires, Whirlwinds, Mosquitoes- an a great many squadrons.
Having conducted numerous interviews and undertaken diligent research of documents, diaries and correspondence, the author has produced a fitting testament to these men and the countless others they represent.
