His previous books include: One Last Look, The Few, Little Friends, Round the Clock, Wolfpack, Convoy, Fighter Pilot, Bombers, Fly Navy, Run Silent, Chariots of Fire, Legend and, for Pen and Sword, Big Wings, Two-Man Air Force, Night and Day Bomber Offensive, Mustang The Inspiration, Rolling Thunder, Behind the Wire, Grey Wolves, Naval Air, and Sailor. He is married to the novelist Margaret Mayhew. 12 o'clock High I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm relatively new to reading about the Battle Of Britain. To be honest I baffled at some of the previous reviews, which in my view were over critical. The book is easy to read, with great photos and really gives the reader a insight to the lives of these great pilots. Highly Recommended A real page-turner! While FIGHTER ACES OF THE RAF IN THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN is an improvement over his Luftwaffe aces book, Kaplan has a ways to go before he's in the same league as, say, Walt Boyne, Barrett Tillman or Donald Caldwell. iGleize - Fighter Aces lists: Allied aces of the Battle of Britain.

“We Never Slept” - the Story of 605 Squadron
“We Never Slept” - The Story of 605 Squadron The Bear Earns His Wings Although the Auxiliary Air Force and Air Force Reserve Act was drafted in 1922 it was not until 1924 that it became law. Lord Trenchard envisaged the Auxiliaries as a corps d’elite composed of the kind of young men who earlier would have been interested in horses, but now wished to serve their country in machines. He conceived that the new mechanical yeomanry with the aeroplanes would be based on the great centres of industry. The original provision was for six Auxiliary squadrons and seven Special Reserve squadrons. Trenchard stressed that this new Auxiliary Air Force was not a "reserve" for the Royal Air Force but a separate air force altogether, whose role was to be that of Day Bombers. In chronological terms 602 (City of Glasgow) had the distinction of being the first squadron to be formed (12th September 1925), followed by 600 (City of London) , 601 (County of London) and 603 (City of Edinburgh) on 14th October 1925 and 605 (County of Warwick ) on 5th October 1926. 604 (County of Middlesex) was not in fact formed until 17th March 1930. The Squadron’s full title was “No. 605 (County of Warwick) Bombing Squadron.” Group Captain Gerry Edge recalls that as 606 was a "medication" it was subsequently omitted from the auxiliary numbering sequence! In 1936 the number of Auxiliary squadrons was doubled, and the number of Special Reserve squadrons was increased to five. The main difference between an Auxiliary squadron and a Special Reserve squadron was that the former was run as a regular unit and the latter as a reserve of pilots.
