Summary

An absolutely essential accompanying book to Aces High, Volume 1 with new information and photographs, updates on more than 700 of the first book's 1200 fighter pilots, plus substantial information on the pilots who gained success against the V-1 flying bombs during 1944-45. To match the coverage of the U.S. and Soviet companion volumes, this stand-alone volume also covers the only other conflicts in which British pilots have been able to claim victories since 1945: Korea and the Falkland War.
