Description

This is the true story of Second World War fighter pilot, Richard Hillary.

After being shot down in September 1940, Hillary spent several months in hospital, undergoing numerous operations; a member of Archibald McIndoe's 'Guinea Pig Club'. Originally published in 1942, just months before he died in a second crash, The Last Enemy recounts the struggles and successes of a young man in the Royal Air Force.

Told through Hillary's eyes, this incredible story shows that even in our darkest moments there is a glimmer of enduring hope.

Sadly, well past it now.

Might have been a good tale in its day, but not now. The writing style is inevitably seriously dated, with some fairly awful references to Negroes and Jews. Some writing is timeless, not this. As a historical account it might have had some merit, but all the personal anguished outpourings become tedious after a while.
