The diaries of military chaplain Guy Mayfield are an extremely valuable testimony about the fates of British, Czech and other RAF pilots in 1940 and 1941. We look at a time when none of them could be sure of winning the war or of living to see another day . Nevertheless, these pilots got up every day, flew and fought for the freedom of their country and the whole of Europe. Mayfield's lyrics are laconic, powerful and personal. Kaplan admires the pilots' performance in the fight against the Luftwaffe, only to share their fears, financial and family problems, and feelings that cannot be commanded even in this conflict. Pilots come to him, leave - and suddenly they are not. Then he also leads his human struggle: "Not even all my prayers will keep them in the clouds." How difficult it is to keep Christian hope and faith in that small change between two lives!" The book is accompanied by unique photographs of figures from the RAF base in Duxford. In the diary we also come across several remarkable Czech traces. Meet a new, extraordinarily compelling take on the Battle of Britain.
