Battle of Britain RAF Operations Manual

Hardcover - 160 pages - The defeat of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain was thanks to the highly effective support network that lay behind the RAF's Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons. Andy Saunders describes and illustrates the 'nuts and bolts' of how Britain, and the RAF in particular, fought back against the Luftwaffe in 1940, and won. It also shows how the Luftwaffe was organised and how it, too, rose to the challenge.
