Congratulations to Dilip Sarkar on this wonderful book telling the tales of a few of “The Few” whose names we might not have heard before. It brings out more of the story of incredible bravery and sacrifice which was such a widespread occurrence among this group of young men. With each of the stories you get a better insight into what daily life was like in an operational squadron and the variety of sorties that were flown both in the Battle of Britain and in other stages of the war. As well as portraying the stories of these remarkable men, the author incorporates much of the development of both aircraft and battle tactics throughout WWII certainly widening my understanding of this period.
For anyone with an interest in RAF Fighter Command during WWII this is a book I would strongly recommend.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing access to this book.

This publisher always delivers books and authors who are credible, professional and thorough in their research and analysis. This book is no exception and offers new insights into one of European history’s most famous battles. The author does a terrific job of bringing the people involved to life even as they offer a factual historical account. Well written and very interesting.
