24 January 2015Terrific. Gripping
Terrific.
7 September 2013Danger in the Designs
Stick with this book as it traces the development of air offense-vs-defense during WW I and then into WW II, because Townsend seasons it with details.
30 November 2010The Events Leading Up to and Including the Battle of Britain. Omits Crucial Information
Perhaps the greatest strength of this book lies not so much in its description of the Battle of Britain as its description of the events leading up to it.
13 July 2010Excellent!
This book is an absolute marvel and delight to read.
2 July 2010The Battle of Britain
The best account I have read of the Battle of Britain.
23 April 2010The Best firsthand account
Duel was written long before most of the books now in print by Peter Townsend, BofB squadron leader, then Equerry to the Queen and Princess Margaret's lost love.
22 February 2010Battle of Britain Masterpiece
The cover of the book says, \"The greatest book on the Battle of Britain ever written\", and I think it lived up to the review.
11 March 2007Duel of Eagles
This book kept me enthralled from the very beginning.
4 February 2004For 'Carmathen', from Brazil, below...
