Book Reviews of First Light

Book Review: "First Light", A First Class Autobiography of an RAF Pilot.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are really interested in a factual and very well written account of just what was involved in going from a High School student to student pilot to an operational pilot in a Royal Air Force squadron, during the Battle of Britain; all in ten months! This is for you.
There are only three first-class, First Person, aviation books of this era, and this is one of them. Generally, pilots are not good writers, but Geoffrey Wellum is in the Peirre Clostermann class.
