This account of the activities of No 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron deals with the period immediately preceding the outbreak of war up to the end of the Battle of Britain. Despite the wartime censorship, it is an interesting read and describes the activities of squadron personalities both in the air and on the ground.
A nice example of this early squadron history and a signed copy is an uncommon find.
