The Battle Of Britain (Great Events)

The Battle Of Britain (Great Events)

by Gillian Clements (Author), Gillian Clements (Author)

Synopsis

Great Events: Battle of Britain is a story surrounding the conflict between the German Luftwaffe and RAF Fighter Command, from August to October 1940. During this time both air forces fought for supremacy in the skies over England. The book traces the events which put at end to Germany's invasion plans. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child-friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
