This compelling memoir, “Pilots also pray” by Thomas Dudley Harmon, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a World War II fighter pilot. Published in 1944, at the height of the war, it captures the harrowing experiences and personal reflections of Harmon, a member of the famed Eagle Squadron – American pilots who volunteered to fight for Britain before the United States entered the conflict. Harmon’s vivid accounts of aerial combat and the camaraderie among pilots provide a gripping firsthand perspective on the Battle of Britain and the early years of America’s involvement in the war. Beyond its historical significance, the book’s exploration of faith, courage, and the human spirit in the face of adversity has made it a enduring classic in aviation literature. This well-preserved copy, despite its aged dust jacket, offers collectors and readers a chance to immerse themselves in a pivotal moment in history through the eyes of a true American hero.
