✦ Synopsis

Lively tales of aerial combat in the legendary Typhoon fighter

History of the plane and the men who flew it in World War II

Based on interviews with the pilots themselves

The Typhoon fighter played a pivotal role in the Allies' success in the air and on the ground in World War II, from the Normandy beachhead to the Battle of the Bulge and the final battle for Germany. Norman Franks describes what it was really like to fly at low level and attack trains and tanks or to roll over at 12,000 feet and then roar down into an inferno of German flak.
