What it was like in a P47 or the difference between a Mustang ...
By William Chambers
I have read many Second World War pilot's accounts of their experiences but this story is different. Tom Neil manages to actually convey something of the character of each of the various aircraft he flew if it is something beyond the humdrum. What it was like in a P47 or the difference between a Mustang and a Spitfire, even if it was the same engine up front. His telling the story of test-flying a Lysander is precious. Tom Neil also delves into the minds and attitudes of his American comrades from his viewpoint as an accepted member of the fraternity (despite being British), and all done in wonderfully brief yet descriptive passages. He manages to convey this impression of war-time Britain; the rationing, the blackout, the attitudes, the danger to the populace at large and all from the point of view of a tall, young, charming RAF officer. He talks his way into and out of, the most extraordinary situations, and all the while commuting round the country in aircraft that today you couldn't buy for much less than a couple of million pounds. One word of warning, for all this being set at the very height of hostilities it is not really an air-combat sort of book. It has it's moments, but for me, who has an entire shelf of pilot accounts, it does add a depth to a time I had thought I had known reasonably well.

A WWII memoir with hardly a shot fired in anger
By Manly Reading
Wing Commander Tom Neil is now 92, and writing about things that happened about 70 years ago. In those circumstances, pretty much anything that makes it to print is a bonus, and that we have such a well written, engaging memoir is a near miracle. This is Mr Neil's story of 1943-45, well after his time as a Battle of Britain ace, but still a pilot as well as an instructor and then USAAF liaison, although without a single kill to his credit during the course of the book. Incidentally, in the Luftwaffe he would have flown in combat until killed or the end of the war, whichever came first, but in the Allied system he was moved away from front line flying to support roles, despite being only 22: hardly over the hill!To be honest, I am still not sure what Mr Neil's job as a liaison officer involved, except that he seems to have been able to fly all sorts of planes on a regular basis - as Montgomery has noted, this is some of the most interesting stuff in the book: especially the Albemarle transport incident, the exact details of which we can only speculate on, but would not be out of place in a WWII sitcom. There is also a recounting of various incidents with the Americans, which shows that perhaps the wartime allies were not as close as it seems to us now, looking back on those days.The titular Spit does not appear until nearly 200 pages into a 300 page book: the acquisition and disposal of the aircraft is however an interesting little story, for all that it shows a certain degree of latitude given to the wartime Forces. There is then a little on a last minute trip to Burma post VE day, which luckily came to naught, and some recollections on the various characters the author worked with in his time in the RAF and liaising to the USAAF.This is not a standard WWII story - the closest example I can think of is Captain Bullen's War, about an Australian Army weatherman in the Vietnam War - as there is hardly a shot in anger, and for all there is the constant (and very real) danger of a plane crash, there is no air combat or anything even particularly close to it. What it is, is a very vital look at a side of WWII we ignore or forget, that of support troops and life in wartime in a general sense.This is more a memoir for history than a gripping read, but its more than interesting enough to keep you reading, and if nothing else, the all too rare observer's view of things like D-Day and the Normandy campaign is worth the price in full.

Take a flight in your own imagination
By J. R. Richardson
This book is important in so many ways. As ever, it makes light of great danger, so that one is bound to forget the realities of war (and the fact that very few accounts were ever written by those who failed to survive it.) It brings to life the author's good fortune in experiencing an unusual aspect of front-line service. It dwells on aspects of human nature well-beyond the war itself, so that the book reflects more than just the life of one single serviceman. For the technically-minded and the frustrated joy-rider it offers a window into a world where one might actually own one's own Spitfire, if only for a short period. In the style of youthful self-belief in ones own immortality and a curious, concrete, faith in things working-out-for-the-best , the author takes us for the ride of our lives without there ever arising any doubt that no harm will come to either himself or to us.A very pleasant read.
