À propos de cet audio

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer by Alastair Panton, read by Jonathan Keeble.

As I write, I can clearly recall the stinging heat of aburning Blenheim, smells, tastes, expressions, sounds of voices and, most ofall, fear gripping deep in me.

Flying Officer Alastair Panton was just twenty-three when his squadron deployed across the Channel in the defence of France. They were desparate days.

Pushed back to the beaches as the German blitzkrieg rolled through the Low Countries and into France, by June 4th 1940 the evacuation ofthe Allies from Dunkirk was complete. A little over two weeks later France surrendered.

Flying vital, dangerous, low-level missions throughout the campaign in support of the troops on the ground, Panton's beloved but unarmed Bristol Blenheim was easy meat for the marauding Messerschmitts. At the height of fighting he was losing two of his small squadron's crews to the enemy every day.

Discovered in a box by his grandchildren after his death in 2002, Alastair Panton's Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer is a lost classic. One of the most moving, vivid and powerful accounts of war in the air ever written. And an unforgettable testament to the courage, stoicism, camaraderie and humanity of Britain's greatest generation.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer tells an amazing story of bravery and courage in the air and on the ground. (General the Lord Dannatt GCB CBE MC DL)
This story grips you by the lapels and sometimes by the throat, and all who love tales of war will devour every page. (Matthew Parris)
It is the best account of the chaos and confusion of war - and a British defeat - outside the pages of Evelyn Waugh. It deserves to be a best seller.
One can't help feeling awe and reverence for people like this. There are enough adventures here for a lifetime, let alone six weeks. (Louis de Bernieres)
