Eagle Day

Collier's chronicle of the desperate six weeks either side of 13th August 1940 when a few hundred pilots, navigators and gunners won one of the most decisive, as well as gallant, battles in the annals of war. Based on over 400 eye-witness accounts from Allied and German sources, this book gives a compelling account of history in the making. Over the English Channel, across southern Britain, and into the heart of the battle, experience confrontation at 18,000 ft and trace the course of actions as they unfolded between August and mid-September 1940; a brief period that helped determine the world's fate.
