During the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone, defying the
Luftwaffe's aerial assault - the prelude to a proposed seaborne
invasion. Fighter Command faced this challenge against overwhelming
odds with immeasurable courage and tenacity, the Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, immortalising these young Spitfire and Hurricane
pilots as 'The Few'. Some 2,927 aircrew comprised the 'Few', 544 of
whom made the ultimate sacrifice that fateful summer, now known as
the Battle of Britain. A further 791 would perish before the war's
end. Today, precious few indeed remain alive worldwide. Veteran
aviation historian Dilip Sarkar, however, has spent a lifetime
recording the stories of casualties and the memories of survivors.
In this important book, Dilip brings us more original research and
new interviews with 'The Final Few'. This is likely to be the last
such work produced, as sadly but inevitably Churchill's 'Few' fade
from living memory.
