The Few, by Alex Kershaw


A valuable book with lots of information about 7 American pilots, with little experience, who finagled their way into the RAF and flew the hottest fighter plane on the planet: The Spitfire! These Americans broke American neutrality laws to fight for England, swore their allegiance to the King and helped save the free world during the early days of WWII. A really interesting story, but the book could have better organized. The story starts following two pilots, then switches to other pilots and ends with yet other pilots, the story isn't well woven from start to finish, but nonetheless I still enjoyed the book, even if it got a little hard to remember who was who after a while.
