Description

In the summer of 1940 a handful of volunteer pilots defied their country to fight when we needed them most. This is the story of their Battle of Britain.

In the early days of World War Two when Britain stood alone against the terror of Hitler’s all-conquering Third Reich, her future hung in the balance; her defence in the hands of the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force’s Fighter Command. They were Churchill’s Few. This is their story – and a fresh perspective on the greatest air battle the world has ever seen.

‘Fine, deeply movingm scintillating…in the battle scenes this book soars heavenward like one of the Spitfires.’ – Andrew Roberts, Sunday Telegraph
