In 1940 the defence of Great Britain rested with a handful of volunteer aircrew Churchills few. Overshadowed in later folklore by the more famous Spitfire & Hurricane pilots there were other pilots observers & air gunners
- just as courageous
- flying the Bristol Blenheim MKIV-F. The future of the country & arguably that of the free world depended also on their skill morale & sacrifice. Remarkably little has been chronicled of these men & their aircraft
- the Trade Protection squadrons formed by Hugh Dowding
- allotted to 11 Group in October 1939. The aircrafts range & endurance made it suitable for defence of coastal shipping against attack on the southern & eastern shores of Britain & for operations further afield. Indeed during bitter fighting casualties among Numbers 235 236 248 & 254 Squadron Blenheims were high on operations over Norway Holland France Dunkirk & then the Battle of Britain where the Blenheims were completely outclassed by Messerschmitt 109 & 110 fighters & fell easy victims scythed from the sky. But the record of the aircraft & their crew was an immensely proud one. Drawing on contemporary diaries periodicals letters logbooks memoirs & interviews with survivors lauded historian Andy Bird reassesses the vital role they played & repositions it in history. In doing so he justifiably embraces the heroes we have left behind.
