Description

‘A wonderful book which helps to tell the story of another brave Pilot, and his crucial part in helping the Polish Air Force quickly become the most deadly Squadron and still revered in modern history’ - Scott Booth Laguna’s Spitfire Legacy.

‘The culmination of much hard work, fascinating facts which put the story very well into context. Excellent’ - Bob Cossey 74(F) Squadron RAF.

There are some revelations for me (personally) about each of the Battles (France and Britain) as it involves key aspects of several fighter pilots. The book is very well written, being direct, appreciating that this is going to appeal to a person already familiar with the Battle of Britain. This was a book I was really looking forward to being published and I'm happy to report I now know even more about the era of 1940 that has had an invested interest all my life, it is now a welcome addition to my BoF/BoB book collection - Gray Humphreys - Battle of France (1939-1940) FB.

 

 

An excellent read from start to finish on someone most of us would probably not of known about. Peter Carter was one of ‘Churchill’s Few’, and yet was just another forgotten pilot, well that is until Brian Gates came along and changed that. The book features some fascinating detail and images that I have never seen before, Brian has cleverly linked all the connections to other RAF pilots of that period which obviously helps to bring this remarkable story to life. There has no doubt been an awful lot of dedicated and time-consuming research done to achieve this read. I have read a lot of books over the years relating to the ’Few’ and of course most of these do usually cover the achievements of the more well-known aviators of that period, so it is so refreshing to read about one of the ‘Forgotten few’. Well done, Brian, a highly recommended read certainly if you have any interest at all in both the ‘Battle of Britain’ or the ‘Battle of France’ Tony  Philpot - Chairman - RAF Hornchurch Heritage Centre.
