This book certainly does not rate more than two stars. It is repetitive ------ with beers, toast, tea, clouds and dozens of names.

This is a very compelling book. As the son of a Second World War veteran of the European phase of the war, in reading Mr.

First Light is one of those books that is destined to be remembered as a "classic" and rightly so. This is a wonderful book of a young man who joined the Royal Air Force before the start of World War Two and who later fought during the Battle of Britain and survived.
