'Zamoyski's affectionate tribute is both disarmingly honest and
impressively researched. The result is a fascinating and superbly told
story.'
'Adam Zamoyski has written a moving book full of lively anecdotes and
memories, but also of sharp insights into political, military and
especially wartime social and cultural history. Its striking achievement
is to make vivid the characters of these forgotten few and their post-war
fate.'
'Zamoyski handles the story with the verve and wit we have come to expect
of him.'
'Adam Zamoyski treats his subject not with the heavy hand of military
scholarship, but generally with a light and easy touch. He deserves our
thanks for writing such an absorbing account of what the Polish Air Force
achieved from its fighter and bomber bases in a battered Britain.'
'In spite of the great betrayal and the enormity of Polish suffering and sacrifice, Zamoyski's is an incredibly colourful and humorous book detailing many heroic, bizarre and funny exploits.' Cencrastus
'Anyone interested in flying - or in sheer human courage and dedication - is sure to enjoy this book, which is remarkable for its balance as well as for the thrilling, tragic story it tells.' Country Life
'Adam Zamoyski tells a marvellous and often humorous adventure story, full
of bravery, commitment, pride, and determination.'
'Jak pisze autor, nie bylo jego zamiarem napisanie pelnej historii lotnictwa polskiego. Niemniej, ksiazka jego jest miniatura historyczna w jak najszerszym tego slowa znaczeniu. To, ze jest to miniatura, a nie sucha historia, daje latwosc czytania.' Tydzien Polski. |
