A graphic illustration of the realities of the air war in the Western Desert, Shark Squadron Pilot describes Bert Hordens service with 112 Shark Squadron and the ground attack role of the Kittys. With their garish sharks mouths painted on their aircraft 112 Squadron wreaked havoc on the German Afrika Korps inflicting terrible damage with machine gun fire and under-slung bombs.

Using his diary and flying log book to preserve the accuracy and immediacy of the events Bert Horden presents a superbly graphic account of desert flying.
