Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
Not to mention the florid prose: "enormous double-barrelled shotguns" (obviously WAY bigger than your normal shotgun), "doe-eyed innocence", "ultimate sacrifice". And as for "do the unthinkable: bale out over enemy territory" — if it was unthinkable, how come they had parachutes in the first place? Unwelcome surely, but a great advance on dying in a crashing aircraft.
