He spent much of the next two years in hospitals, undergoing plastic surgery, but recovered sufficiently to pursue an extremely distinguished war and post-war career. This eloquently written and critically acclaimed autobiography tells of his wartime exploits in the air and on the ground. He was a founder member of The Guinea Pig Club – formed by badly burnt aircrew – and this is a fascinating account of the club, of the courage and bravery of ‘The Few’, and of Geoffrey’s later life and achievements, most particularly in the creation of The Battle of Britain memorial.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 200mmItem Length: 128mmRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
