Books, Manuscripts
The story of Douglas Bader, the RAF fighter pilot who shot down twenty enemy fighters during the Second World War despite having lost both his legs, defies fiction. A fighter ace and highly decorated war hero, he became a household name in the 1950s thanks to the bestselling book and blockbuster film 'Reach for the Sky' which charted his wartime exploits. Indeed, his name remains the one the general public associate most with the Battle of Britain.
