Re: Spitfire Ace of Aces
Sorry to raise a thread from long ago, but I have just finished reading this book and to be honest I found it disappointing as a book to learn about Johnson the man. Reading through it my personal opinion was that it was very clinical and factual (obviously good!) but this outweighed the side that I was hoping would reveal more about who he really was, what motivated him, what his feeling were about the whole of the war, what his family thought of his escapades, etc, etc.
As I said, as a factual book it details in a very deliberate fashion events around the missions he flew but ultimately I didn't really feel I got to know much more about the 'Ace of Aces' other than what a statistician may offer, rather than a biographer?
Cheers, MP
