Mass market paperback. Zustand: Fair. xiii, [1], 222, [4] pages. Cover worn, soiled and creased. Includes Foreword by Air Chief Marshal Sir Basil Embry, and Introduction by Robert Spreckels, Ace German fighter-pilot of the Second World War. This book is an in-cockpit account of an ace British fighter pilot in furious battle against the Luftwaffe. Includes map of Western Europe. Beginning with his pre-war training, Commander J.R.D. Braham takes us battle-by-battle through that fateful afternoon in June, 1944, when he was shot down over 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, his story reveals the skill, courage, and teamwork between pilot and navigator that made him one of the RAF's most deadly fighter pilots. Derived from a Kirkus review: War in the air.the most exciting, dangerous, and highly skilled form of duelling ever devised. Bob Braham joined the Royal Air Force in 1938. Once he had won his coveted wings, he quickly became one of the pilots selected to engage in a variety of specialized and daring missions, including helping with the development of early radar. He had already become an "ace" and been decorated several times when he was shot down, captured, and interned as a prisoner of war. Strangely enough, he was to meet the German pilot who had his plane, and the two men developed a friendship that to the extent that the former enemy has written the introduction to Braham's book. This is one of the most vivid and unobtrusively dramatic reports of its kind. 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. Braham was born in April 1920. Braham joined the RAF on a five-year short service commission in December 1937. Upon the completion of flight training, he was posted to No. 29 Squadron RAF based at RAF Debden, where he learned to fly the Hawker Hurricane and Bristol Blenheim. In 1939 the squadron began to organize itself as a specialized night fighter unit. By August 1940, the Battle of Britain was underway. 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, having achieved five victories, and was awarded a bar to his DFC in November 1941. In June 1942 he was promoted to squadron leader. By October 1942 Braham had claimed 12 enemy aircraft destroyed and he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Braham also flew missions with RAF Coastal Command during this time and claimed a U-boat damaged and an E-boat destroyed. He was then promoted to wing commander and given command of No. 141 Squadron RAF. Braham undertook more intruder sorties into German-occupied Europe at this point and received a second bar to his DFC in June 1943 and by September 1943 had gained seven more victories, including three, possibly four, German night fighter aces. Consequently, he was awarded a bar to his DSO. The squadron soon converted to the De Havilland Mosquito and in February 1944 Braham was transferred to the operations staff at No. 2 Group RAF but was permitted to fly one operation per week. He achieved nine victories in the Mosquito and in June 1944 was awarded a second bar to his DSO. Braham's war came to an end on 24 June 1944 when he was shot down by a pair of single-engine German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters. Braham was captured and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. He was liberated in May 1945. Braham was the most highly decorated airman in RAF Fighter Command. He claimed the destruction of 29 enemy aircraft. In addition, he claimed a further six damaged and four probable victories. One of these probable victories can be confirmed through German records, making an unofficial total of 30 enemy aircraft destroyed. Nineteen were achieved at night. He was the most successful British pilot on twin-engine aircraft. The 19 victories claimed at night rivaled John "Cats Eyes" Cunningham's tally and was bettered only by night fighter pilot Branse Burbridge. Braham emigrated to Canada with his family and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in 1952. Having held office at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, Braham retired from military life. Bantam edition, Specially Illustrated Edition, First printing [stated].
