Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Released in 1969, Battle of Britain became one of the most iconic war films ever made. Featuring a stellar cast including Sir Laurence Olivier, Trevor Howard, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, and Robert Shaw, the film depicted the events of the summer of 1940 with remarkable accuracy. Not…able for its spectacular flying sequences, the film's production involved actual Battle of Britain veterans, including Group Captain Tom Gleave and Luftwaffe General Adolf Galland, who served as consultants. This detailed account of the film's making is complemented by a collection of captivating photos from the production. The images showcase the vintage aircraft used in the film, airfields, actors, and even merchandise from its 1969 release. Air-to-air shots of Spitfires, Messerschmitts, Hurricanes, and Heinkels, along with behind-the-scenes moments with veterans visiting the set, are included. Interviews with key figures such as Hamish Mahaddie, John Blake, and Ron Goodwin provide further insight into the film's creation. The book highlights the effort and dedication that went into making Battle of Britain a cinematic masterpiece, capturing the spirit of the battle with authenticity and grand scale. AUTHOR: Dilip Sarkar has now written over sixty well-received books. Having enjoyed a privileged relationship with many of The Few, he is a globally acknowledged expert on the Battle of Britain, currently working on a career-topping eight volume official history for The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust and National Memorial to The Few. Described by the late Dr Gordon Mitchell, son of the Spitfire's designer RJ Mitchell, as an 'aviation detective', Dilip Sarkar did actually begin his professional life as just that a police detective. His evidence-based approach and ability to discover new material is well-known in 2023, for example, he was responsible for having Air Chief-Marshal Sir Keith Park officially recognised as one of The Few. Made an MBE for 'services to aviation history' in 2003, Dilip was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society in 2006, achieved First Class Honours in Modern History as a mature student in 2010, and in 2024 was made both a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and member of London's Royal Air Force Club. During his long career, Dilip has exhibited and spoken internationally at such prestigious venues as Oxford University, the RAF Museum, IWM Museum, and Airborne Museum, Oosterbeek; he has worked on many TV documentaries, on and off screen, again internationally, and has an engaging presence on YouTube and Facebook in particular.

Paperback. Condition: New. Dilip Sarkar, renowned for his meticulous research, delves into the Battle of Britain in this first volume of an eight-part series. His evidence-based approach offers a comprehensive view of the 1940 aerial conflict, exploring the development of air power, Britain's defense, the German strategy, the Ho…me Front, and political events. Sarkar goes beyond the well-known narrative, revealing new human stories and events.The book traces the conflict's background, including the German invasion of Norway, the Fall of France, and the air battles over Dunkirk. Sarkar questions the official start date of the Battle of Britain, arguing that the fighting began earlier, on 2 July 1940. A detailed, day-by-day account follows, acknowledging aircrews lost before 10 July and recognizing contributions from Bomber and Coastal commands, not just the pilots of Spitfires and Hurricanes.Sarkar's research, based on official sources and personal accounts, challenges many myths and the accepted narrative. This work is more than a record of combat losses; it's a deep dive into the broader context of the battle, drawing on unique firsthand accounts, intelligence reports, and political documents. It's an unprecedented look at the Battle of Britain and its far-reaching implications.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Air Vice-Marshal James Edgar 'Johnnie' Johnson CB, CBE, DSO & Two Bars, DFC & Bar, DL was a character literally from the pages of Boys' Own: an individual who became the RAF's top-scoring fighter pilot of the Second World War. A one-time household name synonymous with the superlative Spitfir…e, Johnnie's aerial combat successes inspired schoolboys for generations. As a 'lowly Pilot Officer', Johnnie Johnson learned his fighter pilot's craft as a protege of the legless Tangmere Wing Leader, Douglas Bader. After Bader was brought down over France and captured on 9 August 1941, Johnnie remained a member of 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron, in which he became a flight commander and was awarded the DFC a month after Bader's devastating loss. In time, Johnnie came to command a Canadian wing in 1943, when the Spitfire Mk.IX at last outclassed the Fw 190, and participated in some of the most important battles of the defeat of Nazi Germany, including Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings in 1944, Operation Market Garden and the airborne assault at Arnhem, and the Rhine Crossings, throughout all of which Johnnie also commanded Canadian wings. Johnnie's remarkable career is revealed through this unparalleled collection of archive photographs, the majority of which are drawn from his own personal album or from other members of the Johnson family. Many have not been published before. Between them, they present a fascinating insight into the man himself, the machines he flew, and the men he served alongside. AUTHOR: Driven by his passion to research and share the stories of casualties and record the human experience of war, DILIP SARKAR is a best-selling author whose work is highly regarded globally. A noted expert on the Battle of Britain period, who enjoyed a long and very personal relationship with the Few, Dilip was made an MBE in 2003 for 'services to aviation history', and, in 2006, elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society. He is a sought-after, dynamic speaker, and his work has been exhibited internationally. Dilip continues to work on TV documentaries, on and off camera.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Air Vice-Marshal Johnnie Johnson a policeman's son from Leicestershire ended the Second World War as the RAF's top-scoring fighter pilot. Fearless, and an exceptional pilot and marksman, Johnnie was also highly intelligent and a gifted writer. Having published two of his own books, Wing Lead…er and The Circle of Air Fighting, during the 1980s and 1990s, Johnnie co-authored several more with another fighter ace, namely Wing Commander P.B. 'Laddie' Lucas. In 1997, the 'AVM' suggested to his friend, the prolific author Dilip Sarkar, that the pair should collaborate on The Great Adventure a book that would, in effect, be Johnnie's account of the 'Long Trek' from Normandy across Northern Europe into the heart of the Third Reich itself. 'Greycap Leader' was to produce a draft, after which Dilip would add the historical detail and comment. Sadly, the project was unfulfilled, because Johnnie became ill and passed away, aged eighty-five, in 2001. Years later, Johnnie's eldest son, Chris, discovered the manuscript among his august father's papers. In order to keep Johnnie's memory evergreen, Chris turned to Dilip to finally see the project through to its conclusion. In this book Johnnie re-visits certain aspects of his wartime service, including the development of tactical air cooperation with ground forces; his time as a Canadian wing leader in 1943, when the Spitfire Mk.IX at last outclassed the Fw 190; and details his involvement in some of the most important battles of the defeat of Nazi Germany, including Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings in 1944, Operation Market Garden and the airborne assault at Arnhem, and the Rhine Crossings, throughout all of which Johnnie also commanded Canadian wings. Here, then, we have The Great Adventure 'Greycap Leader's' previously unpublished last look back. AUTHOR: Driven by his passion to research and share the stories of casualties and record the human experience of war, DILIP SARKAR is a best-selling author whose work is highly regarded globally. A noted expert on the Battle of Britain period, who enjoyed a long and very personal relationship with the Few, Dilip was made an MBE in 2003 for 'services to aviation history', and, in 2006, elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society. A sought-after, dynamic speaker, Dilip's work has been exhibited internationally and he continues to work on TV documentaries, on and off camera. 16 b/w illustrations Air Vice-Marshal 'Johnnie' Johnson became the RAF's top-scoring fighter pilot and wing leader par excellence of the Second World War. This previously unpublished biography was the last manuscript that Johnnie Johnson wrote prior to his death and covers his service in the latter part of the war.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most iconic fighters of all time. First flown just before the Second World War, interest in this remarkable aircraft endures. Intended as a close-range interceptor, the Spitfire actually performed in roles that had never been envisaged by its designer,…R.J. Mitchell. This included being operated as a long-range bomber escort fighter, fighter-bomber, night-fighter, or photographic reconnaissance aircraft; there was even a naval version, the Seafire, that was flown from aircraft carriers. The Spitfire flew and fought on every front, in every theatre even on the Eastern Front where examples of the Mk.Vb, supplied to the Russians under Lend-Lease, were operated by the Soviet Air Force. The battle honours that could be applied to the Spitfire cover every major battle and campaign of the Second World War, from the Battle of Britain to the fighting in the Western Desert and jungles of Burma. Furthermore, the Spitfire was operated by many other countries, including the United States. Developed through twenty-four variants, the Spitfire remained in service with many air forces long after 1945. Little wonder, then, that the fascination in R.J. Mitchell's little fighter is not only durable, but global. Countless photographs have been taken of the Spitfire, including innumerable high-quality press photographs. During the Second World War, however, private photography on service installations was prohibited but, nevertheless, some personnel, aircrew and groundcrew alike, took furtive snapshots. Forming the basis of this book, these amateur images providing us with an authentic and candid window on the past. Drawing on a unique collection of rare archive images, the renowned aviation historian Dilip Sarkar MBE, RHistS, FRAeS, explores the history of the Spitfire from its inception and first flight in 1936, through its introduction to service and then its service to the Allied nations throughout the Second World War. AUTHOR: Having studied the Battle of Britain for a lifetime, DILIP SARKAR is a globally recognised subject expert and prolific author. Dedicated to recording and sharing history on a personal level, he enjoyed a privileged relationship with The Few and innumerable other wartime survivors. Made an MBE for services to aviation history in 2003, in 2006 he was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society, and in 2024 to that of the Royal Aeronautical Society, becoming a member of the prestigious RAF Club the same year. In 2025, in recognition of his achievement in completing this one-million word, eight volume, official history, Dilip was made Honorary Vice-President of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust CIO.
