Description - The Battle of Britain by Norman Ferguson
Have you ever wondered... Which German asked for a squadron of Spitfires? Who were the Millionaire's Mob? What was a Jericho Trumpet? Telling the stories of the commanders, the campaigns, the air raids, the pilots, the aircraft, and the vital invention of air defence radar, from Churchill's resounding declaration on 18 June 1940 that 'The Battle of Britain is about to begin' to 17 September 1940 when Hitler postponed Operation Sealion, this comprehensive miscellany is a compelling guide to this most crucial of Second World War battles - the first to be fought solely in the air. AUTHOR: Norman Ferguson is the author of other books on history, aviation and modern culture. He has worked as web editor and copywriter and lives in Edinburgh.
