ON THE BACK COVER
The Royal Air Force's 11 Group played a leading role in the Battle of Britain. It included the airfields at Tangmere, Westhampnett, Kenley, Croydon, Biggin Hill, West Malling, Martlesham Heath, Stapleford Tawney, Debden and Northolt. The most famous of 'The Few' saw action in this vital airspace over southern England, London and the Home Counties. The book gives an overview of the Battle and then goes on to describe the part played by the squadrons and pilots from each base between the dangerous period of 10 July and 31 October 1940. It includes details of the airfields as they were then and brings the reader up to date with a guide to what remains today, including places of signifcant interest that can be visited nearby.
