THE STORY BEHIND WORLD WAR II’S EPIC AIR BATTLE
WELCOME TO
BRITAIN
The Second World War will always hold a legendary place
in Britain’s history, and indeed the history of the world. Few
campaigns within either of the world wars are as well-known and
remembered as the Battle of Britain. Immortalised in Churchill’s
speech before the battle even began, it was foremost a conlict in
the sky, but its efects were also felt keenly on the ground. In this
special 75th anniversary edition, you’ll ind incredible images of
the battle’s people and planes, its devastating efects, and in-depth
information about key moments and strategies. You’ll also ind
fascinating insights into how people experienced the war, with
facsimiles of documents including letters sent home to loved
ones, instructional pamphlets used by pilots, and morale reports.
Discover the battle through the eyes of those who saw it, and
honour the sacriices made three-quarters of a century ago.
