  This is the exciting story of the RAF's most decorated nightfighter ace, Bob Braham, who became one of the highest scoring fighter aces of World War II.

  Despite his war record, Braham never achieved the fame of his contemporararies such as Douglas Bader, Johnnie Johnston or Cats's Eyes Cunningham. Now Tony Spooner -- who has been given unlimited access to detailed information covering every one of his successful operational sorties -- presents the fascinating story of the RAF's nightfighter air war and Braham's part in it, from the problems of fighting in the dark to the aircraft, squadron personalities, exhilaration of a successful sortie, to the black despair when friends were lost.
