Retired RAF pilot, Ron Powell, has produced a concise and incisive narrative supported by illustrations that brings to life the battle fought in the skies above southern England in the summer of 1940. Along the way, it outlines the opposing forces, their equipment and tactics, and some of the controversies that raged at the time. A few of the pilots he highlights are well known, but most are unheralded. They include the inspiration for much of his life and writing, Pilot Officer Laurie Whitbread, shot down and killed in September 1940; and two survivors he was privileged to meet, Squadron Leaders Geoffrey Wellum and Tony Iveson. Finally, he provides a fitting tribute to all those who sacrificed their lives to give Hitler his first bloody nose. Once again, the cover design is by Martin Butler.
Ron has also produced a novel set in the Battle of Britain, Wings Over Summer; a sequel, Wings Over Malta; and three volumes of memoir, Shropshire Blue, A Shropshire Lad in the RAF, the first covering growing up in Shropshire and his early years in the RAF, the second his RAF flying training, and the third, his tour as a pilot on the inconic C-130 Hercules.
