The Battle of Britain was a critical period in the history of WWII
when, thanks to the heroics of the RAF and their Spitfire and
Hurricane aircraft, Britain managed to withstand the Luftwaffe
onslaught and avoid the invasion that would have followed. This new
account tells the story through the memories of surviving pilots
and other military staff involved in every aspect of the effort.
The story emerges through the authentic voices of the 'ordinary'
participants and reveals their experiences and attitudes as well as
their personal memories of the heroes who have traditionally been
the protagonists in the story - pilots Douglas Bader, Johnnie
Johnson, Adolf Galland, and war leaders Hugh Dowding and Winston
Churchill. This title is compiled from new interviews with the
surviving veterans with special access through The Battle of
Britain Fighter Association. The summer of 2010 marks the 70th
anniversary of the conflict.
