FROM SPITFIRE TO FOCKE WULF: The Diary and Log Book of Pilot H. Leonard Thorne, 1940-45 is a rich and engaging story of the author's wartime experiences as a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF). Thorne flew Spitfires in combat over Occupied Europe during 1941-42 with a couple of fighter squadrons and, from May 1942 to the end of the war, test flying a variety of single-engine and dual engine combat aircraft, including a captured Focke Wulf FW 190, the Hawker Typhoon, and the Gloster Meteor fighter jet. It's a highly fascinating account of a wartime pilot's multi-faceted service in the RAF.
