American volunteers Don Gentile and John Godfrey flew together as leader and wingman respectively, with the USAAF 4th Fighter Group based at Debden near Cambridge. Major Gentile had scored 22 air and 6 ground kills before he was returned to the USA to help raise money for the war effort. At the end of their missions with the 4th the two of them had accounted for over 58 enemy aircraft destroyed.
It continues with their transfer to the USAAF 4th Fighter Group when the US entered the war.These two ace pilots loved life as much as flying - and as well as being hell-bent on destroying the Major Godfrey was credited with 18 air and 12 ground kills before he was shot down and taken prisoner of war.This is the story of their amazing adventures and wartime partnership from their basic training in Canada and then onto England where they first flew the Supermarine Spitfire.
