Fighter Pilot
One of 'The 30 Best Travel and Adventure Books of All Time', as selected by Gear Patrol, Winner 2015 US Travel and Adventure website. Fighter Pilot was written from the immediate and unfettered personal journal that 23-year-old Flying Officer Paul Richey began on the day he and No. 1 Squadron landed their Hawker Hurricanes on a grass airfield in France. Originally published in September 1941, it was the first such account of air combat against the Luftwaffe in France in the Second World War, and it struck an immediate chord with a British public enthralled by the exploits of its young airmen. It is the story of a highly skilled group of young volunteer fighter pilots who patrolled, flew and ...

Fighter Pilot
Paul Richey was commissioned in the RAF in May 1937 and trained as a fighter pilot. This account of No 1 Squadron's part in the air battles which preceded the fall of France was first published in 1940. The new edition includes a large number of previously unpublished contemporary photographs.
Fighter Pilot's Summer
Unknown to almost everyone Paul Richey started this sequel to his acclaimed book Fighter Pilot in 1941, but was unable to continue it beyond the initial chapters. Now, aviation author and historian Norman Franks, by gaining exclusive access to Paul's papers and diaries, has completed the work. Richey, despite being seriously wounded in the Battle of Britain, returned to fly a tour of operations from RAF Biggin Hill in 1941 as a flight commander in 609 (West Riding) Squadron, RAuxAF, and gain a bar to the DFC he won in France. Fighter Pilot's Summer is the story not only of 609 Squadron's offensive war during that momentous summer, but also of Paul's exploits to the end of the war at Fighter Command HQ and then in India and Burma.
Fighter Pilot
This is Paul Richey's personal account of the part played by the Royal Air Force's premier fighter squadron in the air battles preceeding the fall of France in 1940. Faced with overwhelming odds, Richey and his comrades at first accorded the enemy mercy and respect, but this attitude was to change once the Luftwaffe began its attacks on helpless refugees. By the time No. 1 Squadron withdrew from France on 18th June 1940, they had gained a formidable combat reputation. Miraculously, they had destroyed a total of 155 enemy aircraft with only three of their own pilots having been killed, two wounded and one captured. This book stands as a moving account of a young pilot's confrontation with the brutalities of war.
Fighter Pilot's Summer
A sequel to Fighter Pilot, which told of Paul Richey's experiences during the first few months of World War II, this book deals with the rest of his war experiences. It includes original documentation and research material, plus original photographs.
Reflect, Repent, Renew
Jesus calls for those who have a relationship with Him to be on a journey of faith. This thought provoking book uses the seven last words from the cross as a starting point for a journey of engaging with God's Word and seeking how one's life aligns with the ways and will of God.
Piece of Cake
From the Phoney War of 1939 to the Battle of Britain in 1940, the pilots of Hornet Squadron learn their lessons the hard way. Hi-jinks are all very well on the ground, but once in a Hurricane's cockpit, the best killers keep their wits close. Newly promoted Commanding Officer Fanny Barton has a job on to whip the Hornets into shape before they face the Luftwaffe's seasoned pilots. And sometimes Fighter Command, with its obsolete tactics and stiff doctrines, is the real menace. As with all Robinson's novels, the raw dialogue, rich black humour and brilliantly rendered, adrenalin-packed dogfights bring the Battle of Britain, and the brave few who fought it, to life.
