Announcing Volume 20 of the Battle of Britain Combat Archive Series 22-31 October 1940 – The most significant work on the Battle of Britain in 35 years.
Most Battle of Britain authors pay little attention to October 1940, in fact, there is one recently published 96 page book that devotes just one paragraph to the entire month!
These final weeks of the Battle of Britain are therefore little known and the combats have mainly gone unrecorded.
This book finally puts the record straight with a full and comprehensive account of every combat that took place during the final nine days of the Battle. So comprehensive in fact, that we had to increase the extent in this final volume to 160 pages.
With the usual blend of first hand accounts and all original research, using contemporary documents from both sides, author Simon Parry and his team of experts have gone beyond where most Battle of Britain books finish. This is a worthy final volume to this ground-breaking series.
Volume Twenty contains:
Over 100 original wartime photos
8 combat maps
3 Specially commissioned combat scenes by Piotr Forkasiewicz, one of the world’s leading digital aviation artists.
160 pages.
A4 format and printed full colour throughout
