The second book in this series follows the history of the 'Guinea Pig Club'. Founded by the brilliant plastic surgeon, Sir Archibald McIndoe, this is probably the most exclusive club in the world, and one no one would want to join given the chance. McIndoe directed operations, re-constructing his patients and inspired them to rebuild their own lives. The spirit of the Guinea Pigs, over six hundred brave young men who weren't defeated, but rose again to victory, has lived on for sixty years and this is the remarkable story of those heroic men and the vital battles they fought, both in the air and on the ground.

The fifth book in this series recounts the nostalgic and moving history of fighting in the skies during World War II from every fighting Air Force on both sides of the Atlantic, and the stories of the men and machines that made those forces great. It follows the development of military aircraft by the RAF and the USAF, from Fighters to the Big Bombers that ruled our skies during World War II from the Battle of Britain to the Atom Bomb. "The RAF were losing men and machines at an alarming rate over the channel and France. Resources and moral were at an all time low. Britain desperately needed allies if it was to hold off an invasion. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour in 1941. America joined the war and Britain found its closest ally."
