Instead it has been the Editors intention to bring a new aspect to the combat between July 10-October 31, 1941, through the presentation of comparative 'then and now' photographs. Never before has such detailed coverage been given to the losses of either the Royal Air Force or the Luftwaffe. The gravesof Raf aircrew that were killed have been listed, visited by the editorial team and photographed as a complete and lasting record of those who died. The pilots, their memorials, crashes and crash sites, and the aircraft that have survived are profusely illustrated. Twenty of the most famous fighter aerodromes from which they flew have been explored and are described as they were at the time aqnd as they are today, with a particularly detailed account of one typical front line station. Also included is a complete listing of 'The Few'- all those aircrew who participated in the Battle. Plus illustrated indexes of aircraft and personnel together with a pen portrait of Pilot Officer Keith Gillman featured on the Dust Jacket' Fantastic History of the battle with much on the NZders who participated.
