The Years Between: Memoirs of the London Blitz and RAF Maintenance Command during World War Two

Ever heard of RAF Maintenance Command? Most people haven't. As an airframe mechanic, Eric G Ayto worked on iconic aircraft like Spitfires and Hurricanes to keep them running during the dark days of World War Two. His account provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the people behind the scenes who kept everything running smoothly. A light-hearted account of some very trying times, as well as a tender memoir of the author's large, loving family, The Years Between shines a light on the underappreciated men and women who served their country - sometimes with their lives - during one of its greatest battles.
