In 1940, against the backdrop of the Battle of Britain, 66 Quadron's commanding officer, Squadron Leader Athol Forbes, asked ten of his pilots to record their experiences of flying one of the greatest aerial battles ever waged. The Ten Fighter Boys, published in 1942, comprised the first-hand accounts of pilot officers & sergeant pilots from all walks of life among them was Sergeant Jimmy Corbin, who wrote the third chapter. He was 23
- old by pilot standards

He describes how an ordinary working-class boy from Maidstone was propelled into the thick of action in the skies over Kent during the summer & autumn of 1940.

In March 1917, Nicholas II, the last Tsar of All the Russias, abdicated & the dynasty that had ruled an empire for three hundred years was forced from power by revolution.

In this masterful & forensic study, Robert Service examines the last year Nicholass reign & the months between that momentous abdication & his death, with his family, in Ekaterinburg in July 1918.

Drawing on the Tsars own diaries & other hitherto unexamined contemporary records, The Last of the Tsars reveals a man who was almost entirely out of his depth, perhaps even willfully so.

It is also a compelling account of the social, economic & political foment in Russia in the aftermath of Alexander Kerenskys February Revolution, the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 & the beginnings of Lenins Soviet republic.
