History Format:
Paperback Summary:
Mr Price details one day during the Battle of Britain, Sun 18th August, which saw the hardest fighting and greatest losses of any day during the conflict.
This is a brilliantly readable account if the days action, each engagement is dealt with from all sides, the civilian accounst of the attack on Biggin Hill are cross referenced with airfield staff, firemen and even the pilots. Accounts from both sides are also included to painstakeingly figure out what happened during the aerial fighting as well.
He's clearly spent some considerable time researching exactly what happened and has tried to pin point exactly the routes flights took, who shot down who and why. Great book, well recommended for anybody vaguely interested in the Battle of Britain.
