Book TitlePeter - One of the Forgotten Few: The moving story of a fighter pilot who served in the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain 73 squadron RAF and 302 'City of Poznan' PAF
"The story of Peter Carter is exhaustively researched and accurate to a T. The British pilot whom the Brits and the Poles admired and respected did not go on to achieve greatness because he crashed and died at an early age - a death that never should have happened. This book by Brian Gates investigates and presents the facts around this pilot's demise … 'One of the Forgotten Few'. The author interviews and befriends an elderly woman who at the age of 10 in 1940, witnesses Peter Carter falling from the sky right in front of her very eyes! With the aid of well-placed original photos and quotes, the story of F/O Carter unfolds itself to the reader. I highly recommend this book to all those who love World War II aviation history, but also to those who love a human interest story." - Stefan Gnys (author of "First Kills")
A new perspective on the coming together of two nations
A thoroughly great read with a much needed perspective of the coming together of 302 Squadron from an RAF Officer trying to help the Very first Polish few.
