A unique and enthralling anthology compiled by WWII flying ace, Laddie Lucas, Voices in the Air tells the story of the air battles of the Second World War in the voices of those who took part. Drawn largely on the writings of the combatants themselves from all sides of the conflict, this book offers a vivid and highly individual account of the great aerial campaigns of WWII. From a thrilling account of the first sustained dogfight between Spitfire and Messerschmitt in 1940, to an eighteen-year-old Japanese suicide pilot's last letter home and the Luftwaffe leaders' analysis of 'what went wrong' after the Battle of Britain, the book dramatically deals with every aspect of the war. Full of stories of astonishing escapades, incredible bravery, dogged persistence and moving feats of arms, Voices in the Air honours both the sung and the unsung heroes of the war.

Between June 1940 and December 1942, Malta became one of the most bombed places on earth. The battle for this tiny island proved to be one of the most decisive turning points of World War II. In this book the author uses first-hand experience of the conflict to describe the pressures of combat. As the commanding officer of the island's top-scoring Spitfire squadron he gives an insight into the tactics that reversed the overwhelming odds stacked against Allied successes, as well as featuring miraculous escapes and the darker hours - the intense bombing campaign that destroyed 39 newly-arrived Spitfires, the hardships endured by the islanders and the enormous cost in human life. Laddie Lucas recounts individual stories of heroism and gives an insight into the behaviour of the pilots.

In 1931 a brilliant 21-year-old Royal Air Force pilot crashed his Bristol Bulldog fighter near Reading. The pilot officer was Douglas Bader and the result of the accident was the loss of both of his legs. In this intimate and lively biography, authorized by Bader himself and complemented by his private papers, flying log-books and personal notes, Laddie Lucas documents the extraordinary life - in war and in peace - of the man he knew intimately for more than 50 years. One of Churchill's "Few" in the Battle of Britain, a prisoner-of-war in Colditz Castle, a successful businessman, an inspiration to the disabled, a writer, and friend to many of the world's leading statesmen, Bader became an international figure, and one of Britain's most colourful wartime heroes. The book not only contains a new and controversial assessment of the Battle of Britain, exposing, for the first time, Bader's tactical concept of the battle, but also an unrivalled fund of personal stories about one of Britain's greatest flying heroes.
