In 1940 Britain was an island under siege. The march of the Nazi
war machine had been unrelenting: France and Belgium had quickly
fallen and now the British Empire and the Commonwealth stood alone
to counter the grave threat. However, their fate would not be
decided by armies of millions but by a small band of fighter
pilots. It was on their shoulders that Britain's best chance of
survival rested. Above the villages and cities, playing fields and
market towns, the skies of southern England were the scene of
countless dogfights as the fledgling Fighter Command duelled daily
against the might of the Luftwaffe. The Battle of Britain offers an
in-depth assessment of the situation leading up to the summer of
1940, the strategies employed by the adversaries and the brutal
aerial battle itself. Lavishly illustrated with photographs,
contemporary art and posters, and accompanied by numerous
first-hand accounts, this is a volume that captures the reality of
a defining chapter in British history.
