Description
The story of how the outnumbered RAF fought and defeated the superior Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain will always be a source of fascination. However, accounts of summer 1940 have tended to centre on the British defenders, both in the air and on the ground, whilst the story of the losing German side has remained largely untold.
The Luftwaffe Fighters' Battle of Britain and its accompanying volume, The Luftwaffe Bombers' Battle of Britain, are the result of some twenty years of research which will give the reader a new insight into the experiences of the German fighter and bomber crews. In 1939 the Luftwaffe was opposed to an RAF which was disorganised: inferior both in technology and in number.
These books will explain how those same German aircrews felt just months later to be flying against a tenacious enemy with nothing to lose. Written by a best-selling aviation author and historian, The Luftwaffe Fighters' Battle of Britain and its companion volume will form a major two- part series on the Battle of Britain from the attacker's viewpoint.
