One of the Few: A Story of Personal Challenge Through the Battle of Britain and Beyond

Group Captain Johnny Kent was the leader of one of the most successful fighter squadrons of World War II. His leadership helped the 303 Polish Squadron play a decisive role in the Battle of Britain, and earned him the highest Polish military award, the Virtuti Militari as well as the affectionate nickname "Kentowski." Kent's 1971 memoirs tell the story of his life in the RAF. This new edition includes an introductory chapter and epilogue by his daughter that places his story into the broader context of his life as a son, husband, and father. The book now raises poignant questions about what it meant to earn the distinction of being "One of the Few."
