Reviews

[Chris Tschirhart · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very systematic and curt history of the Battle of Britain laid out in a simple manner. What is the Triumph of the book is Peter North's illustrations on each and every page. I got this book solely for that reason. His illustrations may be based on photographs to some extent but the work is amazing. If you dabble in aircraft artwork this book is a great acquisition to your collection.
