A photographic guide to surviving planes from the Battle of
Britain. The Battle of Britain is widely considered to be Britain's
finest hour. The 'Few' who so bravely fought to save the nation
will not be forgotten, nor will they be around forever to recount
the heroism of the summer of 1940 first-hand. In contrast, the
number of restored and preserved aircraft in our museums and skies
is at an all-time high. Authentic warbirds have never been better
cared for and formations of 15 or more Spitfires and half a dozen
Hurricanes are not unheard of at UK air shows. It is now left to
the sights and sounds of these surviving aircraft to remind us of
the sacrifices, daring and bravery of those who saved Britain from
imminent invasion in 1940. This book features a brief history of
all the front-line RAF fighter aircraft that were involved in the
famous battle and explores some of the major training and support
aeroplanes that contributed to the iconic events. The story is told
using over 160 photographs of surviving and restored aircraft in
the air, on the ground and in unique formations together. 160
