| Notes/Review |
| Deighton does a good job of providing the background to the Battle - the development of the aircraft, organization of the air forces, and the advance of radar and other technologies. This background, in fact, is almost exactly half the book. The descriptions of the Battle, the daily combats, is limited to the 100 pages of Part Four: Tactics. The book is not footnoted but the selected bibliography points us to some personal narratives that might be interesting. I also liked the nice two-color maps and drawings interspersed throughout the text. |
