Last Enemy

"One of the classic works of World War Two". -- London Review of Books The Last Enemy recounts Richard Hillary's training as a Spitfire pilot and his participation in the Battle of Britain. When his plane is hit he is horribly burned, but lived to recount here his agonizing, heroic recuperation. Hillary wrote this memorable book in 1942, and to fly again, one last time, on a complex and hazardous night training mission which his injuries had rendered him barely fit to pilot. He never returned.Hillary, Richard is the author of 'Last Enemy' with ISBN 9780708915967 and ISBN 0708915965.
