July 1990 marked the 50th anniversary of one of the most critical
and decisive struggles in the European theater of World War II.
Following the withdrawal of British forces at Dunkirk and the fall
of France, the Battle of Britain pitted some 2,800 Luftwaffe
aircraft against some 650 serviceable RAF fighter aircraft. For the
next four months Britain faced daily attacks against airfields and
military installations, ports, and civilian and industrial centers.
The failure of the Luftwaffe to overwhelm and destroy the RAF
undercut German efforts to mount an invasion of Britain, and by
November the airwar shifted to the Blitz phase, the attempt to
destroy civilian morale through attacks on urban centers and
airfields, which was to last essentially for the rest of the war.
Dangerous Sky attempts to bring together all the main sources
published through 1989 dealing with the battle. The Guide provides
information on how to conduct RAF research, and it organizes
materials ranging from official documents through memoirs and
biographies to secondary histories under major categories. Within
each category, materials are cited in alphabetical order and short
descriptive comments are provided. Access to materials is augmented
by an author index. This research guide is essential to students,
military buffs, and researchers concerned with the British side of
this crucial phase of World War II.
