"The Few: The American Knights of the Air Who Risked Everything to Fight in the Battle of Britain" by Alex Kershaw is a gripping historical account of the American pilots who joined the RAF during World War II to fight Hitler's air aces and help save Britain. With minimal training and plenty of guts, these thrill-seeking adventurers flew the lethal and elegant Spitfire in the blue skies over England. They dueled the skilled pilots of Germany's Luftwaffe, shot down several of Germany's fearsome aces, and were feted as national heroes in Britain. This book, published in 2006 by Hachette Books, offers a fascinating insight into a lesser-known aspect of the war and pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of these "knights of the air."
