Good addition to the series
Like all of the "Boys" books in the series the Hunter Boys contain interesting stories on test flying and combat sorties in the Hunter fighter. Several stories are amusing with the typical British humor. I highly recommend this edition to the seriesVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
