About This Item
London: Blandford, 1989. First. Hardcover. From the publisher:
"Moment by moment, relive one of the most decisive events in World War Two. Collier's history of the Battle of Britain, drawing heavily on eyewitness accounts from combatants in both the RAF and the Luftwaffe, has become an established classic, a compelling story of history in the making. Trace the true course of actions as they unfolded between August 6th and September 15, 1940--a period of slightly more than a month that may have determined the fate of the world. Over the English Channel, all across southern Britain, and right into the heart of the savagely fought confrontation, go where the commanders of both sides made their decisions, along with those who fought and experienced this tumultuous time."
This copy is near fine in blue cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Just slight bumping. The unclipped DJ is also near fine with just slight edge wear. The book was apparently taken to an RAF reunion event, since it is signed by 26 former RAF pilots, along with their squadron designations. CH.
