This book is an autobiography of Peter Townsend (1914 -1995), a British Royal Air Force fighter pilot, an Ace, WWII war hero, who later became equerry of King George VI, and was said to be the love of Princess Margaret’s life. The book provides an unique first person experience of a RAF fighter pilot, his simple but deep love for England, the innocent bravery of a young officer in defending England, as well as first hand stories and insights into the royal family, the famous love story with Princess Margaret and his subsequent exile life in France with his second wife and kids. The writing is natural, sincere and touching, ranging from sweet, funnny, and at times, heartbreaking. This is a book worth your time reading.
