The Sky Suspended: A Fighter Pilots
Story by Jim Bailey
The True Life Story Of Heroism, Survival Against The Odds, And A Remembering Of
So Many That Did Not Make It Through
In 1939, at the age of nineteen, Jim Bailey was conscripted into the RAF to
train as a fighter pilot. What happened over the next five years to Jim and
the men he met, the men who fought, died, and survived, is related with
candor and quiet modesty in this book. It describes the youthful heroism of
his companions, and he captures the atmosphere of everyday life on the
ground in wartime Britain, as well as the air battles.
Personal Review: The Sky Suspended: A Fighter Pilots Story by
Jim Bailey
The Sky Suspended: A Fighter Pilot's Story is the remarkable and
memorable autobiography of Jim Bailey, who in the summer of 1939 while
a 19-year old student at Oxford University felt strongly that war between
England and Germany was inevitable. That was when he signed up to
become a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force. Baily flew British fighter

planes in aerial combat missions that ranged from the Battle of Britain,
through the action at Gibraltar, and the Anzio beach-heads, to the landing
in the South of France. One of the true heroes for which Winston Churchill
was to acknowledge with his famous declaration that never had "so many
owed so much to so few", The Sky Suspended is the true life story of
heroism, survival against the odds, and a remembering of so many that did
not make it through -- but to whom so much is owed to that generation of
young men by all of the generations that follow. This special large printed
edition of The Sky Suspended is a great read, and a welcome addition to
the growing library of World War II memoirs and biographies.
