Book Synopsis
A family-authorised biography of one of the top-scoring aces of the Battle of Britain.

Trade Review
‘Among all the many stories of the Battle of Britain, Bob Doe’s stands out. In this sensitive and well-researched biography we see the modest man behind the fighter ace.’ -- Richard Overy
‘Compelling and moving.’ -- Stephen Bungay
‘[A] truly wonderful biography ... meticulously researched and referenced and also expertly written in a fashion that makes it an exceptionally good read ... If one were to recommend a single fighter pilot biography ... this would be it.’ -- Britain at War
'This book is probably the best biographical account I have read of anybody in any walk of life and I recommend it without reservation. Whilst the final comment from Doe, that he and his colleagues should not be seen as heroes but remembered for what they did, is probably a good reflection of the man but perhaps too modest, given the pivotal importance of the Battle of Britain and its place in history.' -- Royal Air Force Historical Society, Journal 65 (2017) pp. 129-131
