Why did the French lose in 1940? Were their aircraft inferior? Were there stockpiles of unused planes? Was defeat inevitable? Greg Baughen separates the facts from the myths. He describes the problems the French faced, the operations they flew and how, even with the available resources, defeat might have been avoided.

The Fairey Battle is best known for being the worst plane ever to serve with the RAF. Disastrous losses in combat seemed to confirm this assessment. Does it deserve its reputation? A fresh look at the documents of the time reveal that solutions to the problems were known and, if they had been applied, the story might have been very different.

The RAF in the Battle of France and Battle of Britain looks at the opportunities missed in the French campaign. It takes a fresh look at the Battle of Britain and asks if the RAF was ready to help repel an invasion.
