Binding: hardcover

Section: History

By June 1940, Britain faced the enemy across the English Channel with an anxious sense that very little kept her from being subjugated by the overwhelming might of the Nazi forces. What rescued the country was the Royal Air Force's triumph in the Battle of Britain, and the defiance and enduring will of the people who lived, worked and suffered under the Lufwaffe's Blitz. Based on eyewitness reminiscences, The Battle Of Britain and the Blitz relives those desperate times in the words of pilots, ground crew and other airman and airwomen, firefighters, air-raid wardens, radar operators, spotters, anti-aircraft gunners, and Red Cross, other voluntary workers, and even civilians.
