His luck ran out when he was shot down and captured; he only escaped his burning fighter by cutting away one of his artificial legs.
As a POW he was a thorn in the Germans side and he was sent to Colditz Castle.
As this perceptive book reveals Bader, the hero, was at times a difficult overbearing man, no doubt in part due to the pain he suffered. But his strengths far outweighed his weaknesses and his place in the annuals of British history is secure.
This is a timely republication of an important biography.
