Book Synopsis Royal Air Force Fighter Command Losses of the Second World War by : Norman L. R. Franks
Book excerpt: In August 1939, on the eve of war with Germany, Britain was ill-prepared and Fighter Command could muster only 37 operational squadrons to face the foe. Following a brief campaign in Norway, and the brave but disastrous Battle of France and retreat through Dunkirk, Britain stood alone, waiting.
