Editorial Reviews

Daily Telegraph, May 3, 2003
'as a vivid chronicle of who the Battle of Britain pilots were, what motivated them, and why they were ultimately successful, Fighter Boys is unsurpassed.'

Evening Standard, 6 May 2003
'powerful yet restrained, at times almost unbearably touching, narrative'

Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph, May 11, 2003
'I know no more thoughtful nor yet more moving study of their achievement than that which Patrick Bishop has produced.'
