Skies Of Fire: Dramatic Air Combat (2002) By Alfred Price
 
The pilot who faces the unknown, who by chance flies higher or faster than his aircraft allows, or hurtles into combat against overwhelmingly better armed opponents, or is lost over enemy territory in a crippled and burning plane, is every aviation reader's hero. In this book of 16 such true tales, Alfred Price recalls events from both World Wars and on through peacetime to Vietnam, the Falklands and Kuwait. Events include carrier-hopping Spitfires to Malta in the grim days of 1942; a dogfight between a Ju86R and a Spitfire at 43,000 feet, both pilots interviewed by the author; low altitude Phantom reconnaissance to Hanoi, 1972; high speed air action between Sea Harriers and Argentine jets, May 1982 - and much more.
