Describes the three-month German bombing of Great Britain in 1940 by the Luftwaffe, the errors made by the Germans, and the courage of the British flyers and the public.

An account of the aircraft, pilots, tactics, and results of the three-month Battle of Britain in 1940.

This book explores the strategies, technology, and long-term consequences of the Battle of Britain, the Royal Air Force's air battle against the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

This title examines the Battle of Britain, focusing on the aircraft, pilots, and Royal Air Force leaders who defended the United Kingdom from German bombers. Narrative text, historical photographs, and primary sources assist the reader in report writing.

Michael Korda takes the reader back to the summer of 1940, when fewer than 3000 young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force--often no more than 900 on any given day--stood between Hitler and victory.

Equipped with the almost-obsolete Hurricane airplane and RAF blue uniforms, they fought, and Poland lived.
