Review by pteranadon
This the book of the 1985 TV film of the same name, republished for the 80th anniversary. It contains material not used in the documentary which was based on the stories of half a dozen British, one Polish and one German airmen.
No pictures or maps and the history is thin. Enough obvious errors to question how the sources have been interpreted. There are better books if you want to learn about the bigger picture of the battle of Britain.
However, it is an enjoyable read if you like aviation memoirs.
