would not have been able to deal with attacks by the Luftwaffe and a seaborne invasion at the same time. They were stretched to the limit. Only the fall weather and the Germans turning their attention to bombing the cities was the RAF given a reprieve. Great reading!

This is an excellent work of history. For those aircraft and history buffs interested in the early part of World War II air battles this book will offer a wealth of information. It was extremely interesting to read about the various theories of combating Nazi aggression early in the war. I recommend this book as a very enjoyable and informative read.
