Description

The story of the Air Transport Auxiliary, a civilian organisation which, during WWII, took over the task of ferrying RN and RAF aircraft from the factories to the airfields, thus releasing Service pilots for active duties. If you are interested in the remarkable flying experience of the Air Transport Auxiliary in World War II (as I am, hence my own book on ATA flying) then ‘Forgotten Pilots’ is the definitive work on ATA history available today. It has anecdotes by the author, one of the most famous ATA pilots, from her own experience and many others from the experience of pilots she knew; it is comprehensive in factual detail and it describes the organisation from its conception to its close.

The book is hand-signed on the fly-leaf “To Tom, with best wishes from Lettice”
