This 1999 hardback is in excellent condition. It tells the story of Battle of Britain Spitfire Ace and leader of 92 Squadron Brian Kingcombe. It has been remarqued with a large original pencil drawing by Steve Teasdale and features a genuine Brian Kingcombe  mounted signature above the drawing on the title page.
This is becoming a pretty scarce book and this copy is a real one- off. We don’t expect this to be available for long.
