With Wings Like Eagles, A History of the Battle of Britain
by Michael Korda, 2009, Harper, New York
This was a pretty interesting book, but only because I didn’t know much about this campaign. Missing was a sense of the hardships that the pilots and crew went through as well as the impacts on the ground. Korda attempts to give a sense of this but his descriptions seem to fall short. Also, the book tends to be repetitive in places.
On the plus side, the book seems to be well researched and factual. It’s too bad that it didn’t capture my imagination a bit more.
