"...Dildy builds a convincing case for how the Luftwaffe's defeat was caused in great part by its own blunders, keeping alive Britain and its Allies' chance to eventually vanquish Nazi Germany. Splendid color artwork by Graham Turner, maps, black-and-white photographs and more illustrate this 96-page paperback." -- Toy Soldier & Model Figure "I thoroughly enjoyed reading this informative book, and recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Battle of Britain." -- IPMS / USA "An interesting book on the German side of the Battle of Britain, with some nice photos and great maps which help picture the battles." -- KitMaker Network, "...Dildy builds a convincing case for how the Luftwaffe's defeat was caused in great part by its own blunders, keeping alive Britain and its Allies' chance to eventually vanquish Nazi Germany.

Synopsis
A new analysis of the Battle of Britain, told unusually from the perspective of the Luftwaffe, detailing its plans to crush Fighter Command and win the war with air power., The Battle of Britain was one of the most iconic campaigns of World War II, where the "Few" of the Royal Air Force took on the might of the German Luftwaffe. At stake was not just air superiority over the British Isles--a German victory would enable Hitler's plan to invade and conquer the last Allied country left fighting. While most narratives of the battle focus on the brave pilots of Fighter Command, this book tells it from the perspective of the German strategists as they attempted to clear the skies over Britain. Explaining Hermann G ring's plans, the Luftwaffe's capabilities in 1940, the RAF's defenses, and how the fierce aerial battles over south-east England were fought, this fully illustrated fresh study is based on original documents and new analysis by an expert on the campaign., The Battle of Britain was one of the most iconic campaigns of World War II, where the "Few" of the Royal Air Force took on the might of the German Luftwaffe.

    This item exceeded my expectations. Vendor had a hard-to-find model I have been a long time looking for, along with two bonus models to go with it. Description photos were adequate. All are complete and in new condition. Packaging was to notch, and delivery was fast. Am very satisfied and will do business with this vendor in the future. Thanks again.
