Today is my birthday, and a good friend gave me a really beautiful present:
Finding the Few Some outstanding mysteries of the Battle of Britain investigated and solved Andy Saunders Grub Street ISBN 978-1-906502-55-3 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-Few-.../dp/1906502552 It treats the careful and loving research by the author of MIA pilots fallen during the BoB, the recovery of the remains of their aeroplanes and the identification of the mortal rest. 192 pages packed with photos and moving human tales. Regards, Insuber

Nine Lives by Alan Deere is another great read that covers the BoB and beyond.
First Light, by Geoffrey Wellum, as previously mentioned is a wonderful book. Also just out (Sept 09) is Battle of Britain: A Day-by-day Chronicle, 10 July - 31 October 1940 by Patrick Bishop. See http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Brita...8585427&sr=8-2 PPanPan Last edited by PeterPanPan; 11-20-2009 at 10:33 AM.

i found "The first and the last" by Adolf Galland quite insightful and also Norman Franks book "sky tiger" about Adolph "sailor" malan was an interesting read.
Slightly off topic but thoroughly recommend "Samurai" by Saburo Sakai for anyone interested in Japanese WW2 naval aviation.
