Amazon.com reviews:

"FIVE STARS!!! This book provides an excellent overview of the the Battle of Britain. One gets the impression that this book was intended to be the pictorial compliment to the author's more in depth account of the battle 'Fighter'. Included are many photographs, drawings, charts and maps which help explain the battle on a day by day basis. The book also looks at air power and technology from 1918-1939, the rise of the Luftwaffe, aircraft designs and radar and some of the personalities involved with the battle. Included are many personal accounts from the combatants themselves that along with the pictorial content bring the battle to life. Some brief analysis is provided on where the RAF got it right and where the Luftwaffe got it wrong. Overall a delightful book which is an easy read and an excellent starting point of reference."

"FIVE STARS!! As with the other volumes Len Deighton has issued on WWII, this book on the battle in 1940 will be one you will return to again and again."

"FIVE STARS! This is a great first book on the Battle of Britain. I have enjoyed many Len Deighton history books because of their ability to make these subjects very readable. The book includes sections on the equipment of both sides of the Battle and keeps the book personal and interesting. This book is excellent as an introduction to the Battle or military history in general."
