Dizzy Allen was a 20 year old Spitfire pilot with 66 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. He vividly recalls what life was like on a fighter squadron and writes in a very jocular style describing both the airborne action and the humorous incidents in between. A very entertaining read.
One of the more humorously written Battle of Britain memoirs and this is an exceptionally good example of a scarce book.
