ONE of THE FEW

SEPTEMBER    ~    *BOOK OF THE MONTH*

There are some aviation books that are so rare and highly sought after by collectors
from all over the world that it would be unfair to sell such a book on a ‘first come’ basis. 

Therefore, each calendar month, Spitfire Books is offering a rare book for sale
and invites collectors to submit a ‘best offer’ during the month by email or telephone

To Commemorate the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain,
Spitfire Books is pleased to present

‘One of The Few’

Signed on the title page by

Group Captain Johnny Kent

William Kimber First Edition, first impression 1971.  255 pages plus photographs

A Fine condition hardback book in a Fine condition, unclipped dustjacket. Clean and tight with just a couple of spots to the page edges and a hint of fade to the spine of the dust jacket.  A really nice copy in all respects.

Johnny Kent was a Canadian who joined the RAF before the war. During the Battle of Britain he was a Flight Commander with 303 Polish Squadron and later took over as CO of the famous 92 Squadron.  He was also a test pilot before and after the war, spending time as Chief Test Pilot at Farnborough and ended his career as Station Commander at RAF Tangmere.

A very pleasing copy of a scarce signed Battle of Britain memoir especially flat-signed to the title page.
