This is not only a definitive history of the six weeks over which the Battle of Britain took place, it is also a fast-moving narrative drawing on accounts from combatants on both sides. On August 13th, 1940 - Eagle Day - the long-awaited assault on the RAF was launched. Over the coming weeks the south coast of England was subject to wave after wave of attack, culminating on September 15th with the greatest offensive yet. But each time the German planes were met with a fierce resistance. This book traces the course of the Battle of Britain as it unfolded. It gives first-hand accounts of the individual pilots who daily faced the danger of gunfire, burning planes and crash landings in the sea. It tells of the dismay experienced by the men and women at RAF stations like Biggin Hill and Manston, which experienced some of the worst bombing of all. It also recounts the stories of the German pilots whose skill and determination so frequently ended in disaster.
