Produktbeschreibung
Relive the Battle of Britain through the eyes of pilots, controllers, and ground crews on both sides of the Channel - and through the eyes of the women they loved. Summer 1940: The Battle of France is over; the Battle of Britain is about to begin. If the swastika is not to fly over Buckingham Palace, the RAF must prevent the Luftwaffe from gaining air superiority over Great Britain. Standing on the front line is No. 606 Squadron. As the casualties mount, new pilots find a cold reception from the clique of experienced pilots, who resent them taking the place of their dead friends. Meanwhile, despite credible service in France, former RAF aerobatics pilot Robin Priestman finds himself stuck in Training Command. On the other side of the Channel, the Luftwaffe is recruiting women as communications specialists -- and naïve Klaudia is about to grow up. "This is the best book on the life of us fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain that I have ever seen...I couldn't put it down." RAF Battle of Britain Ace, Wing Commander Bob Doe Winner of a Hemingway and Mediacrest Award for military fiction.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Helena P. Schrader is an award-winning and best-selling author who holds a PhD in history and served as an American diplomat in Europe and Africa. Her writing, which draws on her expertise in subjects as diverse as Ancient Sparta and the Crusader States, is celebrated for its blend of compelling narrative and meticulous historical research. Her work on the Berlin Airlift includes both the multi-award-winning Bridge to Tomorrow Trilogy and the non-fiction study, The Blockade Breakers: The Berlin Airlift. As an author who spent one-third of her life in Berlin, she offers a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in history. Schrader's novels on the Crusader States are particularly unique, focusing on the crusader states themselves rather than the crusades.
