Every man and woman who steps forward to fight for the freedom and lives of others can be called a hero. Many members of the air force have exceeded even that high calling and have performed such courageous deeds that their stories live on. This book, supported by historical photographs, relates some of the amazing feats of the air force's most famous airmen, including Chuck Yeager and the Tuskegee Airmen.

Since the dawn of aerial combat in the First World War, the heroism of the men who put their lives at risk in the air has known no bounds. There were no more heroic airmen than the fighter pilots and bomber crews of the Second World War - men who sacrificed their own lives in order to save their crew or who, although in extreme pain, managed to get their aircraft home rather than risk becoming PoWs. In telling the stories of more than eighty such men, Heroes of the Skies paints a picture of aerial combat from the First World War right through to Afghanistan, and allows us to celebrate the extraordinary feats of our flying heroes.
