'The Sky Suspended' is a unique memoir both of war in the air and of life on the home front'
In 1939, at the age of 19, Jim Bailey was conscripted to the RAF to train as a fighter pilot. What happened over the next five years to Jim and the men he met, the men who fought, died and survived, is related with candour and quiet modesty in this book. The book describes the youthful heroism of his companions, and he captures the atmosphere of everyday life on the ground in wartime Britain, as well as the air battles.
