"A haunting book...brilliant." - Financial Times "As poignant a piece of aviation literature as I have ever read." - Sunday Correspondent "It is worthy to stand with the best of air-war memoirs. I've never read a book that was anything like it." - Samuel Hynes, (author of Flights of Passage) A unique memoir both of the war in the air and of life on the home front. While studying at Oxford University in the warm summer of 1939, Jim Bailey knew that war with Germany was looming.  From a world of books and words, the 19-year-old saw that this was his moment to grasp something more real and, despite his fear of combat, he signed up to train as a pilot for the Royal Air Force and defend his country.  Bailey flew fighters throughout World War II, from the Battle of Britain through Gibraltar and the Anzio beach-head to the landing in the South of France.  This engrossing true story of youthful heroism and survival against the odds is a first hand view of the most thrilling yet harrowing of times.

Take a journey back in time many thousands of years to follow a family whose ancestry had been lost. Lose yourself in many worlds of adventure that are in print for the first time. See many riddles solved and historians debunked as we meet pirates, sit on the thrones of Kings, battle the world's greatest naval power, read some intriguing information about how Robin Hood is actually one of our own and learn about a new theory on just what The Holy Grail really is!. The Bailey family of Massachusetts, England, Wales and beyond has been written about by other Bailey members, but without the ancestry, lineage and meticulousness this author has striven for. Also find unique and surprising tricks on helping the genealogist or historian in your family break through that proverbial wall. All this and more from a family that have been 'high on the hilltop' and 'down in the valley'. I will add that this book was written so that people could actually sit down and enjoy a story, while at the same time helping to unravel past mysteries and complete a line that has been elusive for so long. Find the connection between King Arthur's story and the crucifixion of Christ and help search for that elusive Holy Grail, with the help of Mary Magdalene. I have added dozens of references in the main body itself in such a way as to keep the story line relative but intentionally omitted footnotes, relying on deductive reasoning in some instances. In this forum, one can truly delve into a great "drama" without losing or interrupting the flow of thought.
