Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. A tight, clean and unmarked copy-" I try not to throw around five-star ratings, but this certainly deserves one. I own but have not read Deighton's Fighter, his history of the Battle of Britain published in 1977. This Battle of Britain, published in 1980, is an integrated graphic treatment of the battle, beginning with the philosophies and technical developments of the years between the world wars. It combines clear narrative with snippets of contemporary letters and memoirs from pilots, civilians under the bombing, politicians, etc.; charts and tables of statistics; diagrams showing how things work, e.g. how the British used radar and observers and trackers to guide fighter response; contemporary newspaper or magazine accounts, often including visuals; excellent illustrations of the airplanes and weapons involved, including explanations of their strengths and weaknesses; day-by-day accounts of the activity during the most crucial period of the battle (July to October 1940); vignettes on selected pilots and leaders; and dozens of photographs and paintings."- David. Nº de ref. del artículo: 019968
