The Story of Spitfire & Hurricane Ace Robert Stanford Tuck

De: Larry Forrester, S.A. Steele

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Fly For Your Life is the official biography of Royal Air Force (RAF) Ace Robert Stanford Tuck. Thrust into a leadership role amidst the chaos of the Dunkirk evacuation, Tuck would distinguish himself as one of the RAF’s elite officers becoming the first Spitfire Ace.

Further challenging times for Tuck would lie ahead in the coming months when Britain was in terrible danger. Nazi Germany was planning an invasion and the fighter pilots of the RAF would be at the forefront of Britain’s defence. In what would become known as the Battle of Britain; Tuck would show relentless commitment, extraordinary skill, and steely nerve when faced against the better equipped, larger German Luftwaffe. He would be shot down, crash land, and plucked out of the sea. Each time, returning to the fray to fly again.

Tuck would go on to become one of the leading aces in the RAF, credited with 29 confirmed kills and decorated with the Distinguished Service Order. Earning his place in history with the immortal company of World War I aces Ball, Bishop, Mannock, and Collishaw.

Great Battle of Britain and beyond, Air Ace story.

Exciting true story of achievement, survival, luck and intuition, determination, and more.
Virtual voice does a good job speaking this book too.

This book is a great .

Loved the story ❤️, hearing about those that stood to post and fought the German to a standstill. They made D-day possible. But the narration still stutters abit.

Great WW2 adventure

I have read a lot of WW2 history and this is not the first book I’ve read that involved the Battle of Britain. I found it very engaging. What a life Mr. Tuck led in the war!

The Virtual Voice robot narration, while often awful, was not so bad this time, though British listeners may cringe at its pseudo-British intonation and the usual odd inflections. I found it at least tolerable this time. I understand that without this AI narration, a lot of free audiobooks like this might not be available, so I can live with it.
