Summary: I always avoided this book because I, mistakenly, believed it would be a re run of the TV series it is the companion to with a little more background details. I wasn't hugely impressed with the programme to be fair. However this is not the case, the programme is only mentioned briefly in the introduction, you then get a nice overview of the Battle with the usual pilots names dropped, Bob Doe, Tom Neil etc and a couple of German pilots such as Hans Ekehard Bob who's point of view is quite amusing. (I'm sure the Germans lost didn't they?)
To be fair, if you have read much around the topic, there's nothing new or insightful here but its a good read if you are new to the subject.
