Richard Hough Book order (chronological)

The victory of the Battle of Britain ranks with Marathon and the Marne as a decisive point in history.

They came from all walks of life, including a priceless element of pilots from the commonwealth as well as vengeful young men from the occupied nations of Europe. They endured fearful losses, but their gallantry, together with that of almost superhuman efforts of the ground crews and the ordinary citizens united the British people and caused the world to marvel.
