Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. During the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone, defying the Luftwaffes aerial assault the prelude to a proposed seaborne invasion. Fighter Command faced this challenge against overwhelming odds with immeasurable courage and tenacity, the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, immortalising these young…Spitfire and Hurricane pilots as The Few. Some 2,927 aircrew comprised the Few, 544 of whom made the ultimate sacrifice that fateful summer, now known as the Battle of Britain. A further 791 would perish before the wars end. Today, precious few indeed remain alive worldwide, the Battle of Britain Fighter Association now numbering twenty-seven. Veteran aviation historian Dilip Sarkar, however, has spent a lifetime recording the stories of casualties and the memories of survivors. In this important book commemorating the Battle of Britains seventy-fifth anniversary, he brings us more original work and new interviews with The Final Few. This is likely to be the last such work produced, as sadly but inevitably Churchills Few fade from living memory. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
