TALE OF A GUINEA PIG is the autobiography of the personal drama of an R.A.F. Fighter Pilot in air combat.
Here is the Royal Air Force as never before seen--from Dunkirk to D-Day. Top fighter pilot Geoffrey Page's explosive and gripping air war experiences flying Hurricanes and Spitfires give an in-cockpit view of countless nerve-rattling dogfights--of being shot down, smelling the odor of his own burning flesh as he parachuted into the sea--of how they said he would never fly again. But with astonishing courage, he took to the air once more on a mission of vengeance that flew him to the bloody beaches of Normandy. During one of his hospital stays, Page co-founded the world famous Guinea Pig Club to aid disabled veterans. After the war, his air combat expertise against German Messerschmitts was praised in the "Luftwaffe Diaries."
