About this book

WELCOME to the History of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War as they defended the British skies.

As the RAF fought off the Luftwaffe, bombed Nazi Germany and came to the aid of Allied soldiers, the typewriters of Fleet Street hammered out every last detail. The Spitfires and Hurricanes of Fighter Command successfully defended the UK during the Battle of Britain in 1940 and prevented a German invasion. The iconic Avro Lancasters of Bomber Command then turned the tide of the war by carrying out strategic bombing campaigns that targeted industrial and military infrastructure deep inside Germany.

The RAF supported ground forces in Europe, North Africa and Asia, as well as sinking the U-Boats that threatened the Atlantic supply lines. This book of reproduced pages from The Daily Telegraph reveals Britain at its darkest hour – and at its most triumphant.
