Scramble! Scramble! Almost 80 years ago the skies over Britain were
full of dogfighting aircraft as young pilots of the RAF fought to
repel the might of the German war machine. Described by Prime
Minister Winston Churchill as 'Their Finest Hour.' The Battle of
Britain is a defining moment in recent history and remains an
inspiration to us all. Victory 1940 presents a pictorial chronology
of the legendary fight, when the might of the Luftwaffe was
defeated for the first time by Churchill's 'Few.' The history of
the battle as been recounted many times, but this book offers a new
and exclusive approach, through razor-sharp contemporary imagery of
restored Battle of Britain warbirds combined with extensive archive
material previously unpublished. The graphic illustrations of
Victory 1940 are supported by a riveting account of the greatest
air battle of all time, as seen through the eyes of the combatants
from both sides. We witness their triumph and tragedies as they
battle for a cause and survival itself. Victory 1940 draws upon
John Dibbs' amazing warbird photograpy, and his Battle of Britain
restored image archive, which provide fresh insights into the
events of 1940 and enhance the compelling text. In his exclusive
foreword to Victory 1940, Battle of Britain Hurricane ace Tom Neil
calls for 'the need to implant in the minds of the young, the
gallantry and sacrifices of those who fought in the Battle of
Britain,' and that for this reason the book should be 'read and
enjoyed.'
