Announcing Volume 18 of the Battle of Britain Combat Archive Series, 4-11 October 1940.
This is the most significant work on the Battle of Britain for 35 years.
By early October, it was clear that the ‘Classic’ time of the Battle of Britain was over. The ‘long, hot, summer’ was turning to a drab autumn, the worsening weather would preclude a full-scale invasion, and the concentrated bombing raids against cities had evolved into the night Blitz.
With the usual blend of first hand accounts and all original research using contemporary documents from both sides, author Simon Parry and his team of experts have gone beyond where most Battle of Britain books finish. The air battles that took place after 27th September rarely get a mention in any history of the Battle but this end period was probably the closest the RAF came to losing control of the skies over England.
