RICHARD OVERY

Battle of Britain

Penguin Books, 3822. Paperback. New. New clean, tight, unmarked (Fine), no spine or cover creases, The Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill famously remarked, was the ''finest hour'' of the Royal Air Force, which battled Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies above England for a few tense weeks. That storied episode, which historian Richard Overy deems a stalemate rather than a decisive triumph, has been layered with legends, one being that the RAF's determined resistance was the key factor in repelling an impending Nazi invasion. It now appears that that was never a real possibility. Another legend was that the RAF was badly outnumbered and outgunned. In fact, as Overy details, the German and British air forces were fairly evenly matched, and the RAF sustained fewer losses than it delivered. ID: mon0000169585 .
