First Light
by Geoffrey Wellum
This is the memoir of one of the youngest British fighter pilots to take part in World War II about his experiences. It explains exactly what it was like: the camaraderie, the fear, the emotions, how he was recruited, what it’s like to fly a Spitfire. The audiobook is convincingly narrated in an understated, stiff upper lip, British way.
Narrator: Andrew Brooke
Length: 11 hours and 29 minutes
