Investigates the wider context of the Battle of Britain while zeroing in on details of the epic aerial conflict in the summer of 1940. Discusses the roles of Bomber and Coastal Commands in addition to Fighter Command. Draws upon a lifetime of research, relationship with survivors and the relatives of casualties, innumerable interviews and first-hand accounts, and privileged access to personal papers. Focuses on the defeat of the Stuka dive-bomber and the attack on north-east England on August 15, 1940. It was during the aerial combats that Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson's Victoria Cross-winning action took place over Southampton. These actions, and many others, are critically analyzed. Contains 32 mono illustrations.
