Summary

MEN OF GUTS AND GLORY-the flying, fighting Commanding Officer who bagged 74 enemy aircraft in World War I-the pilot who shot down five enemy aircraft and damaged three others in a single day's flying-the invincible pilot without legs who engineered an incredibly daring prison escape...This is the story of the courageous men of the R.A.F., led by the Tiger Squadron, the greatest combat fliers in the annals of aviation. Men of indomitable bravery who turned the tides of two world wars. Told by one of its most brilliant members, Wing Commander Ira Jones, it is the authentic account of the men who risked their lives time and again to preserve freedom and destroy tyranny. It is the gripping story of heroic men in the grim battle for their lives and their country miles above the earth where the sky was the limit as they jousted with death and earned the most glorious praise a nation can bestow in Prime Minister Winston Churchill's tribute
