About this book

The story of the battle fought entirely in the air, The Batrle of Britain, is told here and features original newspaper coverage from July to October 1940.

Learn of the tensions and uncertainties of that summer in 1940 in the skies over the Kent countryside; told through original newspapers written at that time. Read original articles about the British wartime Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, including when he made one of his most celebrated speeches, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”.

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from scan archives. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.
