Softcover. Zustand: very good condition. First Edition Bill Olmsted joined the air force in 1940 after completing his second year at Hamilton's McMaster University. Two years later he was flying Spitfires over occupied territory. Before war's end he would fly more than 500 sorties, covering more countries and invasions than any other Canadian pilot. He became the only member of 242 Squadron to receive the Distinguished Service Order, and was also awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar. In Blue Skies Olmsted recounts hair-raising dogfights with German Me 109s and FockeWulf 190s and describes the amazing escapades of his fellow pilots, among them Group Captain "Dutch" Hugo; Wing Commanders Johnny Johnson, Colin Gray and "Razz" Berry; and Squadron Leaders Dal Rüssel, "Duke" Arthur and "Hap" Kennedy.
