At times funny and tragic, "Dancing in the Skies" is one of the few books I have read on WW2 fighter combat, that give the full picture. From the desire of one man to join the RAF to the point of actual combat, the books describes how quickly a pilot could become an ace or be doomed because of one signle mistake. The author also added a lots of details on how the RAF was opperating. Considering that the author ended up as an Ace with 8 confirmed kills, the fact that he was the only Icelandic pilot in the RAF makes the book only more interesting.
