Paperback. Condition: New. Turner, Graham (illustrator). The role of the "few", as described by Churchill, during the Battle of Britain has been the subject of much mythologizing both at the time and in the years since.This book puts Fighter Command in context; describing the lack of funding and attention which it received during the interwar period, until it was almost too late. Taking the myth of the fighter pilot alongside first-hand accounts, this book shows how the war put nervous but brave human beings from all walks of life in the cockpit.Although the Battle of Britain may not have in itself been the decisive encounter that it has historically been portrayed as, the moral victory won by the RAF, the victory that proved that Germany could be defeated, was just as important as a military-strategic victory.

RAF Fighter Command Pilot. The Western Front 1939-42
Seller: The London Bookworm, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Graham Turner (illustrator). 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. RAF Fighter Command Pilot. The Western Front 1939-42.The importance of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command in the early days of World War II is unquestionable, but the role of the 'few', as described by Churchill, during the Battle of Britain has been the subject of much mythologizing both at the time and in the years since. This title puts the men of Fighter Command into their historical context; describing the recruitment, training and experiences of the fighter pilots that fought the battles of France and Britain. These men were not the fearless, arrogant public school boys of popular legend, rather nervous but brave human beings from all walks of life. Their stories are told through their own writing to build up a comprehensive account of the Fighter Command in the early years of the war, from the skies of Kent through the fields of northern France to the snows of Norway. Illustrated. 64 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
