Wings AflameThe biography of Group Captain Victor Beamish DSO and Bar, DFC, AFC £5.99 The acclaimed biography of Victor
Beamish, the legendary Irish
station commander during the
Battle of Britain, who flew more
operational sorties than the much
younger men under his command.

sportsman at Cranwell and an
aerobatic ace with the Royal
Canadian Air Force but tragedy
struck as he was invalided from the
RAF with tuberculosis in the early
1930’s. With immense courage he
fought his way back to full fitness
and re-entered the RAF just before
the outbreak of World War II. Product descriptionISBN: 9780907579724 Binding: Paperback Dimensions: B Format Pages: 224 Photos/Illus: 8 page b&w photograph section
