Silver Spitfire
During the build up to the Allied invasion of Northern Europe Battle of Britain hero Tom 'Ginger' Neil was assigned as an RAF liaison to an American fighter squadron. Acting as a British representative Neil was tasked with negotiating and overcoming the countless culture clashes that existed between the two allies. From encountering unfamiliar planes and uncomfortable attitudes towards the British to meeting the King of Yugoslavia and General George Patton and falling in love Neil's time with the Americans was anything but dull. As the Allies pushed east Neil commandeered an abandoned Spitfire as his own personal aeroplane. Erasing any evidence of its provenance and stripping it down to bare metal it became the RAF's only silver Spitfire. Love affair and culture clashes on hold he took the
silver Spitfire into battle alongside his US comrades until - with the war's end - he was forced to make a difficult decision. Faced with too many questions about the mysterious rogue fighter he contemplated increasingly desperate measures to offload it including bailing out mid-Channel. He eventually left the Spitfire at Worthy Down never to be seen again. The Silver Spitfire is the first-hand gripping story of Neil's heroic experience as an RAF fighter pilot and his reminiscences with his very own personal Spitfire.
