Tribute to Flying Officer Count Manfred Beckett Czernin by Ivan Berryman. 		The first few American volunteers in World War 2 flew Spitfires with the RAF during the Battle of Britain.

When the United States entered the war its fighter sections were issued with Spitfires and eventually the Eagle Squadrons were transferred to the Eighth Air Force. Discover the experiences of a variety of American aces in their own words through first-hand accounts, interviews and combat reports, in a thrilling read that transports the reader from the Battle of Britain to the deserts of North Africa and Fortress Europe itself.
