Hurricane Squadron Ace: The Story of Battle of Britain Ace, Air Commodore Peter Brothers, CBE, DSO, DFC and Bar
Nick Thomas - 2014
Decorated extensively, he secured a total of 16 'kills' over the course of the conflict, with 10 of these occurring during the Battle of Britain. Pivotal moments in his career include the time, in August 1940, when his flight encountered around a hundred enemy aircraft, including Messerschmitt 110's; he led the flight in attack against them, and soon found himself in a stalled position, out of which he spun, only to be confronted by a Dornier 215, which he shot down, before later destroying a Messerschmitt 109. Scores of these kind of risky maneuvers and winning victories punctuated a career defined by great courage, leadership and initiative in the face of fierce opposition.This new and engaging biography profiles a pilot who, until now, hasn't been the subject of such a thorough book-length study. The story of his career is incredibly entertaining, featuring a number of hair-raising episodes, and is sure to appeal to fans of aviation history as well as the more general reader seeking out an action-packed biography offering fresh insights into one of the most pivotal conflicts of the twentieth century.

For one thing, she knows that the alpha bears only seek her out to steal her sealskin and the control of the coastal land around Monterey that goes with it. It sucks to be a selkie. Lia is seriously considering retreating to the ocean and trying to reconnect with the pod she lost as a child, but her adoptive sister Nessa, who moonlights as a matchmaker for shifters convinces her to try hooking up with a guy who might be able to protect her from the alpha bears. But what kind of protection with Miles be? He’s a playboy who can’t stay focused on one woman for more than a day or two. Even worse, he’s another bear. Lia wants to tell Nessa to forget about it.
