Review :
Fighting High is attractive and easy to read - and each story/chapter is fascinating. I look forward to volume two. (Britain at War Magazine) ... a very different and innovative approach to producing a book on a World War Two aircraft subject and its appeal could be wide-reaching ... (SAM Publications)
