Re: Good book or info about Hurricane Mk I?

Hi Guerra,

Surprisingly, one of the more impartial books seems to be Paul Richey's (auto?)biography "Fighter Pilot". It describes the victory claims (which has now found to be an expected level of overclaiming due to the nature of the air fighting) but also describes the losses in reasonable detail. It predominantly covers his (No. 1) squadron, but also gives insight into No.73 Squadron.

Note: I read the more modern re-print edition - which I'm not sure, but might have more detail than the original 1941 edition.

Regards,
...geoff
