Summer, 1940: western Europe has been conquered, and all that
stands between Hitler and the invasion of England is the matter of
air supremacy. And the RAF... Hitler's top-secret Directive No. 16,
July 1940: 'The English air force must be beaten down to such an
extent, that it can no longer muster any power of attack worth
mentioning against the German advance.' 'Fighter' is Len Deighton's
thrilling history of the ensuing Battle of Britain - the aerial
combat between the RAF and the Luftwaffe that was fought over the
summer of 1940. Ex-RAF pilot Deighton has written a balanced study
of strategies and tactics that also expertly recounts the
development of the aeroplanes that fought each other in the skies -
the Spitfires and Messerschmitts - and of radar. Behind the
strategies and tactics, and in the cockpits of the aeroplanes, are
the men brought vividly to life by Deighton's skill as a novelist.
