Tally-Ho! Yankee in a Spitfire

As an American abroad, Donahue’s memoir acts as a window to a bygone age, shining a light onto life in England during the Blitz from a visitor’s point of view. Filled with technical insights and descriptions of what his senses experienced, Donahue transports the reader into his heavy fur-lined flying boots. Tally-Ho! Yankee in a Spitfire is Donahue’s vivid account of the first part of his service with the R.A.F., chronicling the years 1940-1.
