The Battle Of Britain: The Fight for Survival in 1940 Michael Bowyer New Book

BATTLE OF BRITAIN: THE\nFIGHT FOR SURVIVAL IN 1940\n\nBy Michael J F Bowyer\n\nClear blue skies laced\nwhite with vapor trails of fighting aircraft... petrol-filled beer bottles in\nthe garden shed to repel the panzers... streets deserted when the Prime\nMinister was on the wireless... radar screens picking up German fighters and\nbombers approaching the English coast... Michael Bowyer tells the story of the\nBattle of Britain day by day detailing squadrons, aircraft types, locations,\nand people together with an analysis of the success or otherwise of German\nraids. \n\nThe battle is also\nviewed in the wider context of the war in which both Bomber Command and Coastal\nCommand played a vital role. \n\nStill at school at the\ntime, Michael Bowyer also applies his unrivalled skill to recreate the scene of\nthat finest hour using snippets from official notices, the words of Winston\nChurchill, and items of incidental information to help conjure up the\natmosphere of the time. \n\nMore S
