The Luftwaffe were after him, the Germans were hunting him, even his own mates in the RAF were out for Pete Kelly’s head. If ever there was a harum‑scarum fighting fool, it was Kelly.

Imagine it! What kind of a man takes off in a brand new Spitfire for a sweep over Italy and ends up fighting street battles in Florence at the head of a motley crew of partisans and escaped prisoners, against Nazi tanks and guns?

That’s Kelly – never out of trouble…
