Day of the Flying Fox
The True Story of World War II Pilot Charley Fox
by Steve Pitt
Canadian WW II pilot Charley Fox had a thrilling life, especially in July 1944 in France when he spotted a black staff car, the kind employed to drive high-ranking Third Reich dignitaries. As it turned out, the car contained famed German General Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, and Charley succeeded in wounding him. Author Steve Pitt focuses on this seminal event in Charley Fox’s life and in the war, but he also provides fascinating aspects of the period, including profiles of noted ace pilots.
