Incredible vintage photographs that illustrate the journey of the forgotten WW2 Battle of Britain hero-pilot have been unveiled in a new book chronicling his triumphs during the fierce aerial fighting that saved our nation from Nazi invasion.
Pat Hughes was an Australian fighter ace of World War II and served with the Royal Air Force in the UK and was credited with as many as 17 victories during the Battle of Britain, before being killed in action on September 7, 1940.
Pat Hughes is pictured at Point Cook, near Melbourne in Australia, which was the birthplace of the Royal Australian Air Force. He served with the British Royal Air Force during World War II, until he died when his Spitfire crashed in a field between Sundridge and Bessels Green in Kent
