Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Flight Lieutenant David Moore Crook DFC's original Spitfire Pilot ranks among the finest first-hand accounts published during the Second World War, particularly for a Battle of Britain airman. It rightly remains a sought-after classic. A Spitfire pilot during the epic aerial battles of the summer of 1940, 'DMC' became a decorated ace. However, he did not survive the war: his Spitfire inexplicably crashed into the sea off the Scottish coast on 18 December 1944. A married man and father, he remains missing. First published under wartime conditions in 1942, Spitfire Pilot was not heavily censored unlike Squadron Leader Brian Lane DFC's similar first-hand account Spitfire! The Experiences of a Fighter Pilot, published the same year. DMC's book was based on his entries in two Stationary Office lined notebooks, hastily scribbled between sorties, and using his pilot's flying log book for reference. In 1990, the renowned Battle of Britain historian Dilip Sarkar traced DMC's widow, Dorothy, who enthusiastically supported the idea of re-publishing Spitfire Pilot. She duly uncovered bound copies of DMC's original manuscript, which she passed to Dilip. The Real Spitfire Pilot is, therefore, DMC's original, completely uncensored and unedited words, shared here for the first time. It provides a totally authentic window on the past, providing a unique glimpse at the lives and deaths of real Spitfire pilots in our Finest Hour. With an introduction and conclusion by Dilip Sarkar, and illustrated with previously unseen photographs, this is destined to become another classic. AUTHOR: Driven by his passion to research and share the stories of casualties and record the human experience of war, DILIP SARKAR is a best-selling author whose work is highly regarded globally. A noted expert on the Battle of Britain period, who enjoyed a long and very personal relationship with the Few, Dilip was made an MBE in 2003 for 'services to aviation history', and, in 2006, elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society. He is a sought-after, dynamic speaker whose enthusiasm is infectious, presenting at many prestigious venues, including the Imperial War Museum Duxford, RAF Museums Hendon and Cosford, National Memorial Arboretum, Oxford University, Bentley Priory Museum and Airborne Museum, Oosterbeek. Dilip's work has been exhibited internationally and he continues to work on TV documentaries, on and off camera.

Condizione: New. Hardback Flight Lieutenant David Moore Crook DFC's original Spitfire Pilot stands as one of the most compelling first-hand accounts of the Second World War, and among the finest narratives from a Battle of Britain airman. A decorated ace, Crook flew during the intense summer 1940 air battles, but tragically did not survive the war; his Spitfire inexplicably crashed into the sea off Scotland on 18 December 1944. Married and a father, he was lost to history.First published under wartime conditions in 1942, Spitfire Pilot was comparatively uncensored, drawing on Crook's hastily kept Stationary Office notebooks and his pilot's log book. In 1990, historian Dilip Sarkar traced Crook's widow, Dorothy, who uncovered bound copies of his original manuscript. The Real Spitfire Pilot presents Crook's words entirely uncensored for the first time, offering a vivid and authentic perspective on the experiences-and sacrifices-of Spitfire pilots during Britain's Finest Hour. With an introduction and conclusion by Sarkar and previously unseen photographs, this edition cements Crook's account as an essential classic of wartime aviation history. Book.…
