Last of The Few

"After the fall of France in May 1940, Hitler set his sights on the invasion of Britain. He knew that he must first gain control of the skies if his invasion was to succeed, and soon had a vast fleet ranged along the French coast. His obstacle was the small and under-resourced Royal Air Force. And so began the Battle of Britain: thirteen weeks which saw 2 500 young RAF pilots pitted against the German Luftwaffe, high above the English Channel. ... Max Arthur has interviewed many veterans and drawn on sound archives and written testimonies of that short but hugely significant battle. In their own words, their memories undimmed by the passage of time, they tell of their experiences."--Back cover.
