Immortal speech of Winston Churchill to Parliament in 1940 as the Battle of
Britain raged above the skies of England is well-known: ‘The gratitude of every
home in our island, in our Empire and indeed throughout the world, except in
the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen, who, undaunted by odds,
unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of
$175 the world war by their prowess and devotion. Never in the field of human
conflict was so much owed by so many to so few’. However not all of the pilots
that flew in the Battle of Britain were actually from the U.K.; many came from
the Dominions; Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa or nations overrun by the Nazis; Poles,
Czechs, Free French. So direly needed was every pilot that a blind eye was turned on the
nationality of the applicant for Fighter Command; one such man was Arthur ‘Art’ Donahue, an
American hailing from the corn fields of Minnesota. Donahue was a humble and unprepossessing
man, but despite his self-effacing nature his bravery in joining ‘The Few’ during their time of
greatest need is a testament to his keen sense of justice. Having been a pilot for some years before
joining he was almost immediately thrown into the frontline fighting and in short order downed a
BF 109, the ‘ratlike’ Messerschmitt that hunted the skies. His luck did not hold for long in the
frenzied fighting in the skies as he was shot down and badly burnt facially. Amazingly he decided
after a brief recuperation to get ‘back in the saddle’ and was flying again with 64 Squadron in the
melee in the air. His recounts his experiences with wit, humility and frank honesty; a valuable
historical memoir of one of the famous airmen that saved Britain, it is all the more poignant as two
years later he was shot down over the English Channel and his body was never recovered.’ Near fine
in very good jacket. Spine a bit faded, minimal loss form top jacket edge, jacket price clipped.
