The story of the greatest air battle of the WWII when six nations were locked in combat over north-western Europe for a traumatic six weeks in 1940.
The story is told by Flying Officer Edward Hall, Adjutant of No. 73 Squadron, the first squadron to be sent to France.
The battle was perceived to be an all-Hurricane show, yet it was the Blenheim and Battle crews who suffered the brunt of the casualties. Every aircraft lost or damaged through enemy action is listed together with the fate of the crews.
The RAF lost more than a thousand aircraft of all types plus 1,127 airmen, of whom 415 paid the supreme sacrifice. Luftwaffe losses were even higher.
