Air Battle For Dunkirk
£5.00
Where is the RAF? was the oft-quoted question asked by soldiers waiting on the beach at Dunkirk, to where they had retreated following the German blitzkrieg through northern France.

The air forces were there, as Norman Franks proves, detailing the outstanding achievements of the Allied pilots who fought, using outmoded tactics, against enemy pilots who had earlier had easy victories over the Polish, Dutch & Belgian air forces.

The RAFs achievement reminds us just how close Britain came to disaster in June 1940.

Product Description

Air warfare was a terrible novelty of the modern age, requiring a new military outlook.

From the beginning, the RAF’s identity set it apart from the traditional services. It was innovative, flexible & comparatively meritocratic, advancing the quasi-revolutionary idea that competence was more important than background.

The Air Force went into the war with inadequate machines, training & tactics, & the early phase was littered with setbacks & debacles.

Then, in the summer of 1940, in full view of the population, Fighter Command won one of the decisive battles of the struggle. Thereafter the RAF was gilded with an aura of success that never tarnished, going on to make a vital contribution to Allied victory in all theatres.
