Reseña del editor:

The victory of the Battle of Britain ranks with Marathon and the Marne as a decisive turning point in history. This book, written specially for the general reader, gives vivid descriptions of the fighting in the air and provides the essential background to the battle with a full explanation of the development of British and German air forces in the 1930's. The authors provide fresh insights into the many controversies surrounding the Battle of Britain. Illustrated throughout, the book was written with the full support of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association, the Air Historical Branch of the Ministry of Defence, the Imperial War Museum and the RAF Museum at Hendon. It is the official Jubilee History of the Battle of Britain.
