Fighter Pilot by Paul Richey.
Fighter Pilot grew out of a journal which the then 23-year-old Flying Officer Richey began the day he landed his Hawker Hurricane on a grass airfield in France. Published in September 1941, it was the first such account of the war in the air and struck an immediate chord with a British public enthralled by the exploits of its young airmen: by January 1942, the book was already in its sixth impression. Yet this brisk narrative is much more than merely a diary and logbook combined. For Richey was not only a natural writer; he also knew by now all too well of what he wrote. There have been innumerable first-hand accounts of the Second World War in the air, but few have so accurately depicted the thrill and terror of air fighting, and very few have matched the warmth and pathos, the immediacy and honesty of Paul Richeys. His was the first such account, and it remains by far the best.
