The fascination of this brief volume is that it was written right after, if not during the battle, so it does have immediacy. Surprisingly, it is not entirely one sided. German aviators are often sited for their bravery, especially as the battle reached its conclusion and it became very obvious that attacking England in daylight was very dangerous. ( ) Regarded as the first of a series of 70 (including 2 duplicate titles) of what have become known as "The WWII HMSO Paperbacks." See "A Bibliography Of WW2 HMSO Paperbacks" "WW2 HMSO Paperbacks Collector's Guide" and "Informing The People", all by Anthony James for a comprehensive history of the titles. This was also the first copy of the series I purchased, for 6d. from a bookshop in Hay-On-Wye England, in 1969. I probably read it at least 10 times in the years up to 2000 and considered it as little more than a "Ripping Yarn" with a little wholesome propoganda thrown in for good measure. It was only after discovering a couple of other titles from the same period that I began to understand that there was more to these publications than meets the eye. I then came upon Mr. James's works which inspired me to attempt to assemble a complete set of the works. Rather like collecting postage stamps some issues were very easy to obtain.

A fabulous slice of wartime nostalgia, a facsimile edition of the propaganda booklet issued following victory in the Battle of Britain. First published in 1941, The Battle of Britain was a propaganda booklet issued by the Ministry of Information to capitalize on the success of the RAF in defeating the Luftwaffe. An amazing period piece, hundreds of thousands of copies were printed and sold for 6d and it became one of the year's best selling books. It is the first book to embed in the public imagination the heroics of 'The Few'. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
