For most people, the Battle of Britain is remembered as a violent and bloody duel between the RAF and the Luftwaffe. Until now, the involvement of Mussolini's Corpo Aereo in this decisive campaign has been one of the least known episodes of the Second World War. In this unique and fascinating account, bestselling author Peter Haining tells the intriguing story of Italian-led air raids on England, the fighter pilot with Mafia connections, eyewitness testimonies from civilians and RAF squadrons, as well as crashes, imprisonments and escapes.
