About this product
Product Information
As a child, Dilip Sarkar was fascinated by the haunting image of an anonymous RAF Spitfire pilot. Taken minutes after landing from a Battle of Britain combat, this was Squadron Leader Brian Lane DFC, the commander of 19 Squadron, based at Fowlmere - and author of the stirring first-hand account 'Spitfire! The Experiences of a Fighter Pilot', published under the pseudonym B.J. Ellan. Deeply moving was the discovery that in 1942 Brian was reported missing after a futile nuisance raid over the Dutch coast. During the mid-1980s, Dilip began researching the life and times of both Brian Lane and 19 Squadron, forging close friendships with many of the unit's surviving Battle of Britain pilots and support staff. This enabled identification of the wartime censor's blanks regarding people and places in Brian's book, and the publication in 1990 of Dilip's first ever book, 'Spitfire Squadron: 19 Squadron at War 1939-41'. Nearly thirty years later, sadly all of the survivors are now deceased, but Dilip's close relationship has provided a huge archive of correspondence and interviews in addition to a unique photographic collection. Furthermore, the author, a retired police detective, has thoroughly investigated the life - and death - of Squadron Leader Lane. This completely new 'Spitfire Squadron' covers everything we would ever need to know about such a unit during the critical pre and early war period: the social, political, aviation and military history all in one volume - emphasising the human experience involved and the stories of casualties. With an immense photographic collection - many published here for the first time - this book is destined to become a classic. So, strap yourself in, turn gun button to fire', and join 19 Squadron's Spitfire pilots during our Darkest and Finest Hours the ultimate Band of Brothers'? AUTHOR: A prolific author, Dilip Sarkar has been obsessed with the Second World War for a lifetime. Recognised with an MBE and a Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society, this retired police detective with a First in Modern History is renowned for his evidence-based approach. Firmly focussed on the human' experience of war, his many previous works include the best-selling 'Spitfire Manual' and 'The Few'. Dilip is a sought-after public-speaker and contributes to TV documentaries. See www.ourfinesthour.net
