Thank you for posting about a non-fiction book. Well done for finding something that is so interesting for your Gold Challenge. Do you know who wrote the book? This might help other people find it in the library if they want to read it as it sounds a really good book.
Thank you. Douglas Bader was a very famous Second World War pilot who lost both of his legs but still insisted on flying in the war. He was taken prisoner but the Germans allowed a spare pair of tin legs to be sent over to him. My husband’s grandfather was one of the pilots who was in the crew that dropped the legs to him!

The illustrator who made the images with colour was a man called John Frayn Turner, and the book was introduced by a man called Douglas Bader.

He must’ve been very dedicated to helping his country out in the war
I’m also doing about WW2 planes for my gold challenge so this book might be useful, thanks.
