“Although there are lots of similar books, Goeffrey has...”

★★★★★

written by Ted Snook on 10/07/2009

Although there are lots of similar books, Goeffrey has hit the spot with this one. When he enters the RAF he is just a Schoolboy, but very soon he is plunged into a life or death struggle fighting the Luftwaffer in the battle of Britain.
Having become one of the survivors from that epic fight, he is then pitched into the battle for the survival of Malta, where as an RAF Flight commander he and his Spit are pitched into protecting the Island against the Axis onslaught.
This First Light book has become one of my few 'must read more than once' books - loved it.

This book is self inspiring in its self. I was able to really relate and understand exactly how Mr Wellum was thinking. I started to read this book when i was 18, which if you read the book is around the same age in which G.Wellum is fighting WWII. This book gave me so much motivation and thought that i have ended up undertaking a Pilots Training Course at university. I take my hat off to each and every word written.

This book gripped me from the moment I opened it.
Mr Wellum takes you through what it really was like being a Spitfire pilot during the Second World War. You actually feel like your in the aircraft with him in battles that are eye blisteringly fast. The book showed all aspects of being a fighter pilot. When the book was finished I felt like I'd just landed and my fingers were scorched. What a book.

★★★★★

written by The Hooded Claw on 13/10/2003

The book is an account of a young pilots training and operational experiences before and during the Battle of Britain.

Written as a serious of episodes rather than a continuous narrative this book takes the reader through training, thrilling and nerve racking dog-fights, terrifying accounts of navigation in bad weather, the stress of constant pressure and compassionate accounts of and reactions to the death of colleagues and enemies.

An account that will move the reader and make his hair stand on end at the same time.
