ABOUT
The story of the Commander in Chief of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain.
His battle with Churchill in 1940 to retain sufficient aircraft for home defence and how he held together the dwindling resources until the battle was won, being then forced to relinquish his command without being given the recognition his victory demanded, with a foreword by Lord Dowding who made his personal papers and files available for this account.
Author contends that if Dowding had not won his battle with Churchill in 1940, the Battle of Britain would have been lost.
