Cover of Guttridge Leonard F. Guttridge: We Kept Britain Flying (ePUB)

Corporal Leonard Guttridge was among the many unsung heroes of the Battle of Britain–the Royal Air Force mechanics and armorers who patched bullet holes, repaired engines, refueled empty tanks and replenished ammunition, enabling outnumbered pilots to return to the skies. His journal, written in tiny notebooks, at moments under enemy fire, chronicles the battle and its human toll, and portrays the tenacity of the RAF ground crews without whom the British could not have defeated the German Luftwaffe.
