With stunning artwork and detailed analysis, this volume provides a
pilot's view of the dramatic clashes between these two legendary
fighters, as some of the most gifted and 'big name' aces of World
War II went head to head in the skies of North-West Europe. As the
Battle of Britain approached its conclusion, two new versions of
the famous Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109 arrived on the scene.
The RAF could see that the Luftwaffe were stepping down their
incursions into British airspace, and went on to the offensive. The
Spitfire Mark II, and increasingly the Mark V, would fly over the
picturesque English channel in fighter sweeps, or to escort
vulnerable Blenheim bombers - waiting for them was the Bf 109F
'Friedrich'. Yet despite the reversal of offensive and defensive
dispositions, and despite the Luftwaffe deploying the bulk of their
fighter strength to the Eastern Front in 1941, the Jagdflieger were
able to inflict severe losses on their RAF counterparts.
