Summary

"Summer 1940, Britain is on the brink, a mere 2000 or so RAF fighter pilots stand between Hitler's Luftwaffe and air supremacy over the skies of southern England-- the prerequisite for a German invasion. What was it like to fly a Spitfire? To shoot down a German bomber over London? Or to be shot down by the closely matched Messerschmittt 109? This short illustrated account of daily life in August and September 1940 is the ideal introduction to the story of the Battle of Britain."--p. [4] of cover
