In 1940 RAF Fighter Command fought and won the most famous air battle of the war: the battle of Britain. Had it lost, Hitler's armies might well have crossed the English Channel to dictate peace terms in London. This great defensive victory was followed by years of offensive operations, wearing down the Luftwaffe in the certain knowledge that, without air superiority the Allies would never liberate Europe. In compiling this book the author interviewed many of the surviving veterans of the Battle of Britain. His analysis of Fighter Command operations is supported by their eyewitness testimony. He investigates the mythology that has grown up around 'the few', separating fact from fiction. Lavishly illustrated with over two hundred and fifty photographs, some of which are published here for the first time. Ref FCD.
