About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: HarperCollins, 1994. Soft Cover. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. It was the battle that proved Great Britain was a vital force in the war. It was the battle that inspired Churchill's immortal phrase, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Above all, it was a battle of men and machines that had no precedent. And never before has the aerial battle between the Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940 been analyzed with such dazzling clarity. Filled with illustrations and many never-before-published photographs, fighter explodes the myths of the Battle of Britain with an honest and full account of every tactic, machine and figure - from Churchill and Dowding to Hitler and Goring. Drenched in details of the war's dramatically new aircraft - the Bf 109, Hurricane, and Spitfire - and the true-life stories of the pilots who flew them, this is the definitive book on a legendary conflict, and a nation's finest hour. 363 pages. Spined creased..
