Red Kite are delighted to introduce a major new landmark series of books on the Battle of Britain. The Battle of Britain Combat Archive Series forms the most comprehensive account ever of The Few’s gallant efforts. Focusing solely on RAF Fighter Command’s clashes with the Luftwaffe, the series covers every combat that took place on every day of the Battle of Britain. Using contemporary accounts such as combat reports, rarely seen squadron intelligence summaries and the newly released casualty reports, the author and his team of experts have broken down each day into its individual combats and assembled the claims, losses and first-hand accounts into a highly accessible format. These combats are illustrated with specially designed maps showing the amount of aircraft involved, the area that the engagement took place and the location of where the casualties came to earth. Each combat and casualty report is illustrated with a photo of the pilot wherever possible.
Volume Nine covers the first three days of September as the Luftwaffe gradually gains the upper hand as Fighter Command is stretched to the limit.
Volume Nine contains:
•Over 100 original wartime photos
•10 combat maps
•3 Specially commissioned combat scenes by Piotr Forkasiewicz, one of the world’s leading digital aviation artists.
• full colour throughout

Be
assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any
cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many
years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell
you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most
booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't
normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of
them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be
simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's
editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are
even worse!
