This is the Battle of Britain as seen by the men of the Luftwaffe. From July to October 1940, wave after wave of German fighters and bombers- Messerschmitts and Junkers and Heinkels- left bases in continental Europe, crossed the English Channel or North Sea and attacked airfields, radar sites, and cities inside the United Kingdom. As the campaign progressed, the invaders were met by increasingly effective Hurricanes and Spitfires that downed bombers and doggedly pursued fighters. Here, the pilots and crews describe what it was like to engage enemy aircraft high above the ground, and ultimately, to suffer a staggering defeat.
