      On 18 June 1940 Churchill declared in the House of Commons – 'The Battle of France is over... the Battle for Britain is about to begin'. With the fall of France Great Britain was Hitler's last remaining stepping-stone to European domination. In July Hitler told his commanders to prepare for the invasion of England. To do this they would have to destroy the RAF – Britain's last line of defence. As such the Battle of Britain was without doubt one of, if not the, most important victories in British history. The Battle of Britain is the story of that battle: the machines which took to the air; the tactics employed by each side; gripping accounts of the action; the people who took part from the Commanders, to the pilots, to ground crew and plotters. Fascinating facsimile documents brings this great battle to life as never before.
