Book Synopsis
Canadian-born flying ace Raymond Collishaw (1893-1976) served in Britain's air forces for twenty-eight years. Flying to Victory examines Collishaw's contribution to the British system of tactical air support - a pattern of operations that eventually became standard in the Allied air forces and proved to be a key factor in the Allied victory.

Trade Review
In Flying to Victory, Mike Bechthold fills a gap in our understanding of the history of the Royal Air Force and Britain's early campaigns in the Western Desert. This is an important book that deserves to be read by scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts alike.""- Ross Mahoney, Historian, Royal Air Force Museum
