The Battle of Britain - July-September 1940

Heron Books edition

A sky full of flame and fury. Summer 1940. France has fallen to the Blitzkrieg forces of Nazi Germany. Britain stands alone, facing the threat of invasion. Soon an ominous droning fills the hot summer air. The sky darkens with the shadows of thousands of bombers, each one bearing the mark of the swastika. The Luftwaffe is on its way. But the fighters of the RAF, pitifully few, are waiting. They hurtle upwards, pitting themselves against this deadly armada of the air.

Jullian's superb book places the Battle of Britain in valuable historical perspective with a wealth of material from Britain and German sources....
