Spitfire Ace of Aces: The Album
Air Vice-Marshal James Edgar ‘Johnnie’ Johnson CB, CBE, DSO & Two Bars, DFC & Bar, DL was a character literally from the pages of Boys’ Own: an individual who became the RAF’s top-scoring fighter pilot of the Second World War. A one-time household name synonymous with the superlative Spitfire, Johnnie’s aerial combat successes inspired schoolboys for generations. As a ‘lowly Pilot Officer’, Johnnie Johnson learned his fighter pilot’s craft as a protégé of the legless Tangmere Wing Leader, Douglas Bader. After Bader was brought down over France and captured on 9 August 1941, Johnnie remained a member of 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron, in which he became a flight commander an...

The Great Adventure
The greatest Allied fighter pilot and Wing Leader during the Second World War, James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, wrote "The Great Adventure" during the last few years of his life. His son, Christopher, was left the manuscript by his Father which he feels duty bound to publish in order to keep the memory of the gallant Allied Air Crews alive in the public's mind."The Great Adventure" takes a last critical look back at the RAF Commanders, pilots, planes and their air fighting tactics from the preparation for D Day to the fall of Berlin."Johnnie's" story is of war and hard work; of lowly men from many nations fighting evil and their ambition Commanders; of strategic disasters such as Caen and Arnhem and the tactical victories by fighter bombers at Mortain & Falaise but above all the Allied's high spirits and comradeship forged in battle. He observes first hand the terrible costs to French civilians at Caen caused by the ill-conceived Allied bombing and the horrors of a German Concentration camp as the War ends.

"In this superb flying narrative, all the drama and excitement of air combat is recreated by Group Captain Johnny Johnson, who flew for five years with the R.A.F. fighter squadrons and finished the war with 38 confirmed victories, ten major decorations, and the official record as the top-scoring Allied fighter ace of World War II." --Back cover.

Johnnie Johnson's Great Adventure
The World War II fighter Ace’s previously unpublished draft—an account of the “Long Trek” from Normandy into the heart of the Third Reich itself. Having published two of his own books, Wing Leader and The Circle of Air Fighting, Air Vice-Marshal Johnnie Johnson co-authored several more with another fighter ace, namely Wing Commander P.B. “Laddie” Lucas. In 1997, the “AVM” suggested to his friend, the prolific author Dilip Sarkar, that the pair should collaborate on The Great Adventure. “Greycap Leader” was to produce a draft, after which Dilip would add the historical detail and comment. Sadly, the project was unfulfilled, because Johnnie became ill and passed away, aged ...
