The Battle of Britain was a fight for survival against a seemingly
unstoppable foe. With the German army poised to invade, only the
fighters of the Royal Air Force stood between Hitler and the
conquest of Britain. Losses were high on both sides, but the
Spitfires, Hurricanes, Havocs and Defiants of the RAF began to take
their toll on the overextended, under-protected Kampfgruppen of
Heinkel He 111s, Junkers Ju 87s and 88s, and Dornier Do 17s. Both
sides learned and adapted as the campaign went on. As the advantage
began to shift from the Luftwaffe to the RAF, the Germans were
forced to switch from round-the-clock bombing to only launching
night-raids, often hitting civilian targets in the dreaded Blitz.
This beautifully illustrated study dissects the tactics and
technology of the duels in this new kind of war, bringing the
reader into the cockpits of the RAF fighters and Luftwaffe bombers
to show precisely where the Battle of Britain was won and lost.
