Description
Scramble! Scramble! Seventy five years ago the skies over Britain were full of dogfighting aircraft as young pilots of the RAF fought to repel the might of the German war machine. Described by Prime Minister Winston Churchill as ‘Our Finest Hour’, the Battle of Britain is a defining moment in recent history and remains an inspiration to us all.
‘VICTORY 1940’ is a superior-quality book that presents a pictorial chronology of the legendary fight, when the might of the Luftwaffe was defeated for the first time, by Churchill’s ‘Few’. The history of the battle has been recounted many times, but this publication offers a new and exclusive approach, through razor sharp contemporary imagery of restored Battle of Britain warbirds, combined with extensive unpublished material never seen before.
